FAQs

Is this rotor compatible with non-STEPS e-bikes?

Yes, it will function as a standard high-performance rotor, though the integrated magnet will simply remain unused.

Can I use this with six-bolt hubs?

No, this rotor requires a CENTER LOCK mounting interface.

Does this include the lockring?

The rotor includes the lockring which houses the integrated magnet for the speed sensor.

What is the primary benefit of the ICE TECHNOLOGIES construction?

It significantly improves heat dissipation, preventing brake fade during long or heavy-duty braking sessions.

How do I maintain the braking surface?

Use isopropyl alcohol for cleaning and ensure you do not touch the surface with bare, oily hands.

Troubleshooting

Brakes feel spongy or inconsistent

Ensure the rotor is properly centered and check that brake pads are not contaminated with oil.

STEPS speed sensor not reading

Verify that the lockring magnet is correctly aligned with the sensor and that the lockring is tightened to the recommended torque.

Noise during braking

Clean the braking surface with isopropyl alcohol to remove residue and verify that pads are bedded in correctly.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent heat management for long descents
  • Streamlined CENTER LOCK installation process
  • Specific compatibility with Shimano STEPS sensors
  • Durable construction suitable for high-load E-bike usage
  • Improved braking stability in muddy conditions

Cons

  • Requires CENTER LOCK compatible hubs

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation requires a standard internal or external notch bottom bracket tool to secure the CENTER LOCK lockring. Always ensure your hub is CENTER LOCK compatible before purchase. For optimal performance, avoid using harsh degreasers on the rotor surface; clean only with isopropyl alcohol and a clean lint-free cloth. Regularly inspect the rotor for signs of warping and check the lockring torque to ensure the integrated magnet remains aligned with the STEPS speed sensor.
