It uses a two-piece construction with a \u003cstrong\u003estainless steel brake track\u003c\/strong\u003e bonded to an \u003cstrong\u003ealuminium carrier\u003c\/strong\u003e — the aluminium spider reduces weight compared to a full-steel rotor while the steel braking surface provides the durability and heat dissipation needed for road descents. SRAM describes the Paceline brake track as their smoothest and quietest, with a surface finish optimised for consistent modulation and minimal noise with compatible SRAM road brake pads. Available in \u003cstrong\u003e140mm\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003e160mm\u003c\/strong\u003e.

The Paceline X is the appropriate rotor for SRAM road hydraulic groupsets — \u003cstrong\u003eRED AXS, Force AXS, Rival AXS\u003c\/strong\u003e, and their mechanical hydraulic equivalents — and is compatible with Shimano road hydraulic systems.

The two standards are not interchangeable without an adapter. Check your hub's rotor interface before purchasing — it will be marked on the hub or in the hub's specification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat tool do I need to install a Centerlock rotor?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA Centerlock lockring tool is required — the same tool used to install Shimano Centerlock rotors and some cassettes. The internal tooled lockring included with the Paceline X can also be installed using a cassette chain whip tool. A torque wrench is recommended — tighten the lockring to the torque specified by SRAM (typically 40Nm).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhich size should I choose — 140mm or 160mm?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e140mm is the standard road rotor size, providing sufficient braking power for most road riding and compatible with most road bike fork and frame clearances. 160mm provides more braking power and better heat dissipation, making it preferable for heavier riders, loaded touring, or hilly terrain with long descents. Check your fork and frame's maximum rotor size before choosing 160mm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it compatible with Shimano brakes?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes — the Paceline X Centerlock is compatible with Shimano road hydraulic disc brake systems. The Centerlock interface is a shared standard between SRAM and Shimano, and the rotor dimensions are compatible with Shimano road brake callipers and pads.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sram","offers":[{"title":"160mm","offer_id":45477708103855,"sku":"DBS8235003","price":62.76,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"140mm","offer_id":45477708136623,"sku":"DBS8235002","price":62.76,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/2003\/4223\/files\/1743756229-15925000.jpg?v=1768515838","url":"https:\/\/www.swinnertoncycles.co.uk\/products\/sram-paceline-x-centerlock-road-disc-rotor-140mm-160mm-internal-lockring-included","provider":"Swinnerton Cycles","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
