FAQs

What is the main advantage of the SRAM HS2 ROTOR?

The main advantage is its improved braking performance, characterized by increased power, quieter operation, and superior heat dissipation, making it ideal for demanding mountain biking conditions.

What sizes is the SRAM HS2 ROTOR available in?

The SRAM HS2 ROTOR is available in various mountain bike specific diameters, including 160mm, 180mm, and 200mm.

Does the HS2 ROTOR come in both 6-bolt and Center Lock options?

Yes, the HS2 ROTOR is available in both 6-bolt and Center Lock mounting standards to accommodate different wheel hub types.

Can I use the SRAM HS2 ROTOR on a road bike?

The HS2 ROTOR is specifically designed for mountain biking. While it may physically fit some road bikes, its design and thickness are optimized for MTB use and may not be suitable or necessary for road cycling applications.

How does the heat dissipation work on the HS2 ROTOR?

The HS2 ROTOR features recessed spokes coated with thermal dissipating paint. This coating helps to draw heat away from the braking surface and dissipate it, preventing the rotor from overheating.

How much more power does the HS2 ROTOR offer compared to other SRAM rotors?

The HS2 ROTOR offers approximately 7% more power compared to previous SRAM rotor designs, contributing to shorter stopping distances and better control.

What material is the SRAM HS2 ROTOR made from?

The SRAM HS2 ROTOR is primarily made from steel, with specific coatings applied to the spokes.

Troubleshooting

Brakes are noisy (squealing)

Ensure the rotor surface is clean and free from contaminants. Check that brake pads are properly seated and compatible with the rotor. Verify that the rotor is correctly mounted and torqued.

Brake power feels weak or inconsistent

Clean the rotor and brake pads. Check for brake pad contamination (e.g., from chain lube or sealant). Ensure brake fluid levels are correct and the system is properly bled. Confirm the rotor is not warped.

Rotor is rubbing against brake pads

Check if the wheel is properly seated in the dropouts. Ensure the rotor is not bent or warped. Adjust the caliper position if necessary according to your brake manufacturer's instructions.

Overheating during long descents

This rotor is designed for superior heat management. If overheating persists, ensure your brake system is properly functioning and consider if brake pad compound is suitable for the conditions.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Improved braking power and modulation
  • Significantly quieter operation
  • Excellent heat dissipation for consistent performance
  • Durable construction for demanding terrain
  • Wide compatibility with common MTB mounting standards

Cons

  • Designed specifically for mountain bikes, may be overkill for lighter riding
  • 2mm thickness might add slight weight compared to thinner rotors
  • Requires compatible brake system and mounting interface (6-bolt or Center Lock)

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The SRAM HS2 ROTOR is available in either 6-bolt or Center Lock mounting standards. Ensure you select the correct version that matches your wheel hub. For 6-bolt rotors, use T25 Torx bolts and torque them to the manufacturer's specifications, ensuring an even tightening pattern. For Center Lock rotors, use the appropriate Center Lock lockring and torque tool.

Compatibility: This rotor is designed for mountain bikes and is compatible with most SRAM brake systems and other brands that support the specified rotor diameter (e.g., 160mm, 180mm, 200mm) and mounting standard.

Care: Clean the rotor surface regularly with isopropyl alcohol and a clean cloth to remove any dirt, oil, or debris that could affect braking performance. Avoid touching the braking surface with bare hands, as oils can reduce friction. Inspect the rotor for any signs of damage or excessive wear and replace if necessary.
