Benefit |
| Castings |
Most discs/rotors undergo no form of stress relieving whatsoever. |
Discs are machined from proprietary cast-iron alloys. All castings are weathered to stress relieve the casting. |
Maximum wear life and resistance to distortion and cracking. |
| Coatings |
Most discs/rotors are coated in oil to reduce changes of corrosion during shipping and storage. These oil-based coatings can contaminate pads and act as a lubricant leading to reduced friction co-efficient if not completely removed. |
Coated in a proprietary black 'dry coating' - eliminating the need for any form of cleaning or de-greasing. |
Dry coating ensures quick bed-in and maximum friction levels, without the risk of contaminating new pads with oil-based coatings. There is no need to degrease or clean the discs in prior to use. Simply fit and use. |
| Vane configuration |
Standard straight or curved vane design. |
Staggered-vane design features and additional 'half-vane' between each 'full-vane'. The staggered-vane design increases internal surface area (which air flows over) by 40%. |
Substantially improved disc cooling, reduced disc temperatures and the resulting increase in disc and pad life. |
| Drive pins/bolts |
Standard steel. |
Drive pins are machined from high-grade, heat-treated steel. Drive pins and high-tensile drive bolts are plated for maximum corrosion resistance and then processed for hydrogen de-embrittlement. |
Maximum strength and wear life of drive pin components. |
| Dynamic balancing |
Many discs/rotors are not balanced leading to vibration and bearing damage. |
All discs are dynamically balanced. |
Zero off-brake vibration and improved bearing life. |
| Wear indicators |
No visual wear indicators. |
Wear indicators machined into outboard disc faces. |
Allows for quick visual inspection of disc wear. |
| Temperature recording paints |
Sold separately at substantial cost. |
Supplied with MTR (Max Temp Recording) paint applied at no additional charge. |
Easy monitoring of maximum disc temperatures |
