The SwissStop Catalyst Race Centre Lock Disc Brake Rotor is designed for performance-oriented cyclists and racers who demand consistent braking power and thermal efficiency. Featuring a lightweight, two-piece construction with an aluminum alloy spider, this rotor excels at maintaining brake torque over long descents while resisting fade. While it offers superior stiffness and aerodynamics, it is specifically optimized for race-grade pads, meaning users should ensure their current setup is compatible to maximize the rotor's longevity and performance.

Most Centre Lock rotors do not include the lockring; please check your specific purchase packaging or reuse your existing compatible lockring.
Clean the rotor surface with isopropyl alcohol and re-bed the brake pads.
Check that the Centre Lock ring is tightened to the correct torque and ensure the wheel is fully seated in the dropouts.
Ensure you are using high-quality race pads compatible with this rotor series and check for pad glazing.
Installation requires a standard Centre Lock lockring tool. Ensure that the hub spline is clean before seating the rotor. When installing, always torque the lockring to the hub manufacturer's specifications. Since these rotors are optimized for race pads, it is recommended to replace your brake pads when installing new rotors to ensure the surfaces bed in correctly. Regularly inspect the braking surface for signs of heavy wear and ensure the spider remains free of debris to maintain optimal aerodynamics and thermal ventilation. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners; a mild soapy water solution is sufficient for cleaning.
