FAQs

Is this disc compatible with my specific Triumph model and year?

This EBC X Series Front Brake Disc (MD873X) is confirmed compatible with Triumph Bonneville T120 (2018-2021), Triumph Speedmaster 1200 (2018), and Triumph Thruxton 1200 (2017). Always double-check compatibility for your exact motorcycle.

What is the main benefit of the X Series design?

The X Series design focuses on reducing weight while enhancing braking performance through its full circle rotor blade and patented square drive button system, which minimizes vibration and prevents warping.

Do I need special brake pads for this disc?

While not strictly required, EBC recommends using their performance brake pads for optimal synergy and braking results. Ensure any pads used are compatible with stainless steel rotors.

How much weight does this disc save?

The design, utilizing fewer drive buttons, can reduce unit weight by up to 300 grams compared to conventional rotors.

Can I use this disc in all weather conditions?

Yes, the stainless steel construction and robust design are intended for reliable performance in various weather conditions. Regular cleaning and maintenance are still recommended.

What does 'mill-hard stainless steel' mean?

It refers to stainless steel that has been heat-treated to achieve a very high level of hardness, which translates to superior durability and braking effectiveness.

Troubleshooting

Brake judder or vibration

Ensure the disc is properly seated and all mounting bolts are torqued to specification. Check for any debris trapped between the rotor and caliper. Warping may indicate improper installation or overheating; professional inspection is advised.

Reduced braking performance

Verify that the brake pads are compatible and have sufficient material. Check the brake fluid level and condition, and consider bleeding the brake system. Ensure the disc surface is clean and free from contaminants.

Noise during braking

Some initial noise can occur as the disc and pads bed in. If persistent noise occurs, inspect for uneven pad wear, bent mounting hardware, or debris.
