SRAM Paceline X Centerlock Road Disc Rotor – 140mm & 160mm, Internal Lockring Included

The SRAM Paceline X rotor represents a precision-engineered solution tailored specifically for road and gravel cycling applications requiring reliable disc brake performance. Designed with a two-piece construction, it features a stainless steel brake track bonded to an aluminium carrier, which effectively balances durability and weight reduction. This design ensures optimal heat dissipation during extended descents, maintaining consistent braking power and rider confidence. The rotor is compatible with Centerlock hubs, a standard shared with Shimano, facilitating secure and straightforward installation with the included internal tooled SRAM Centerlock lockring.

Engineered for compatibility with SRAM road hydraulic groupsets such as RED AXS, Force AXS, Rival AXS, and their mechanical hydraulic equivalents, the Paceline X also supports Shimano road hydraulic systems, broadening its applicability. Available in multiple configurations including 140mm and 160mm diameters, this rotor accommodates various riding styles and terrain demands. For riders seeking the 6-bolt rotor option, the SRAM Paceline X Rounded is recommended. Explore our comprehensive brakes collection for complementary components and accessories.

Key Features & Benefits

• Two-piece construction: Combines a stainless steel braking surface with an aluminium carrier to reduce overall weight while ensuring robust heat dissipation and durability.
• Optimised braking surface: The Paceline brake track is engineered for smooth, quiet operation with consistent modulation, enhancing rider control and comfort on road and gravel surfaces.
• Centerlock compatibility: Utilises the splined hub interface and lockring system for secure and efficient rotor installation and removal, compatible with both SRAM and Shimano standards.
• Versatile sizing: Available in 140mm and 160mm diameters, providing options tailored to different braking power requirements and frame clearances.
• Included lockring: Comes with an internal tooled SRAM Centerlock lockring, simplifying installation with the appropriate tools.

What It’s Good For

• Road and gravel bikes equipped with Centerlock disc brake hubs seeking reliable and quiet braking performance.
• Integration with SRAM RED AXS, Force AXS, Rival AXS hydraulic groupsets and compatible Shimano road hydraulic disc brake systems.
• Riders requiring efficient heat management for sustained braking during long descents or varied terrain.
• Applications where weight savings are important without compromising rotor durability and braking consistency.

What It’s NOT Good For

• Bikes using 6-bolt rotor mounts; this model is exclusively designed for Centerlock interfaces. For 6-bolt compatibility, refer to the Paceline X Rounded rotor.
• Mountain biking or off-road disciplines requiring larger rotors with enhanced heat dissipation and durability for extreme conditions.
• Non-hydraulic disc brake systems, as the rotor is optimised for hydraulic braking performance.
