Product Information

Full details

The Hope RX Road Centrelock Floating Disc Rotor is designed for performance-minded road cyclists who demand consistent braking reliability and weight efficiency. By utilizing a floating two-piece construction, it manages thermal expansion effectively to prevent rotor warping during long, technical descents. While it offers superior braking performance and a sleek aesthetic, users must ensure compatibility with their specific centrelock hub and caliper setup, and keep in mind that the necessary lockring is not included in the package.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Does the rotor come with a lockring?

No, the lockring is not supplied with the Hope RX Road Centrelock Floating Disc Rotor.

Is this compatible with 6-bolt hubs?

No, this specific model is designed for centrelock splined hubs.

Can I use this rotor with mountain bike calipers?

This rotor is engineered for road bike applications; please check your specific caliper clearance before installation.

How do I clean the rotor?

Clean the braking surface using isopropyl alcohol and a clean, lint-free cloth.

What is the benefit of the floating design?

The floating design allows the steel braking surface to expand and contract due to heat independently of the aluminium carrier, preventing warping.

Troubleshooting

Rotor rubbing against the caliper body

Verify your frame and caliper clearance before riding. You may need to realign the caliper or check that the rotor is seated fully on the splines.

Braking noise or vibration

Ensure the lockring is tightened to the manufacturer's torque specifications. Clean the braking surface with high-grade isopropyl alcohol to remove potential contaminants.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent heat dissipation prevents warping
  • Lightweight aluminium carrier reduces overall bike weight
  • High-quality construction for long-term durability
  • Consistent and predictable braking modulation
  • Stylish aesthetic that complements high-end road builds

Cons

  • Lockring is not included in the purchase
  • Requires centrelock hub compatibility
  • May require frame clearance verification for certain calipers

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install this rotor, you must have a centrelock compatible hub. Slide the rotor onto the hub splines and secure it using a standard centrelock lockring (note: the lockring is not supplied with this product and must be sourced separately). Before your first ride, verify that your specific disc brake caliper has sufficient clearance to the aluminium carrier to avoid rubbing. Regularly inspect the rotor for signs of damage or extreme wear. Use only isopropyl alcohol to clean the braking surface, avoiding any oily residues or lubricants that could contaminate your brake pads and reduce stopping power.
