The Hope RX Floating Disc Rotor is designed for performance-focused road and gravel cyclists who demand consistent braking power and heat management. By utilizing a proven floating disc design with an aluminum central carrier and a steel braking surface, this rotor effectively mitigates heat-induced deformation during heavy braking. While it offers superior reliability and a distinct aesthetic, users should note that the necessary center-lock lockring is not included in the package.

No, the Hope RX Floating Disc Rotor does not include a lockring. You must provide one compatible with your hub type.
No, this is a center-lock specific rotor and cannot be used with 6-bolt hubs without a specialized adapter.
Floating rotors allow the steel braking track to expand independently from the carrier, which helps prevent warping and reduces brake fade during high heat.
These rotors are designed to work with standard metallic or organic road-specific brake pads.
Compatibility depends on your frame and fork's maximum rotor size specification; verify your manufacturer's limits before installation.
Check that the center-lock lockring is torqued to the manufacturer's specification and ensure the rotor is seated correctly on the splines.
Ensure the hub bearings are not loose and that the rotor is properly trued; check for debris caught between the rotor and the carrier.
Clean the braking surface with isopropyl alcohol and check if the brake pads have become glazed or contaminated.
Installation of the Hope RX rotor requires a standard center-lock tool. Ensure your hub is compatible with center-lock rotors before beginning the installation. Since the lockring is not included, you will need to source one that matches your specific axle standard (e.g., quick-release or thru-axle). When caring for the rotor, use only isopropyl alcohol to clean the braking surface and avoid contact with oils or lubricants, which can contaminate your brake pads. Regularly inspect the rivets connecting the spider to the braking surface for signs of play or debris accumulation.
