Hope Saw Floating Disc Brake Rotors

The Hope Saw Floating Disc Brake Rotors feature a wide steel braking surface riveted onto an aluminium central carrier. The floating design compensates for thermal expansion caused by heavy braking and helps to self-centre the rotor within the caliper to reduce drag. The saw pattern helps the braking surface to dissipate heat…and looks cool.

Who’s this item for: The floating rotors are designed to dissipate heat well so these are a great choice for gravity-fed riding on steep trails. They’ll perform well for almost any type of riding though. Recommended for use with Hope brakes and Hope brake mounts.

Mounting standard: Standard 6-bolt

Materials: Stainless steel braking surface riveted to an aluminium central carrier.

Brake pad compatibility: Compatible with resin, metallic, and semi-metallic pads.

Stand out features: Floating rotor setup dissipates heat well while minimising deformation. Rivets help the rotor to self-centre within the caliper to reduce drag. Saw pattern looks cool.

Dimensions / weight: Approx 146g for a 180mm rotor.

Note: The rivets on these rotors protrude approx 1mm from the surface of the disc which may cause clearance issues with some frames and forks. 

For optimal clearance, the rotors are best paired with Hope hubs and Hope brake mounts. Even then there is the possibility that the rivets will not adequately clear the brake caliper or mount on some setups.

Unfortunately, there is no magic formula for predicting this so please take care during the initial installation and double-check your clearance before proceeding.
