Upgrading your brakes? Â Be sure to consider these Shimano XT SM-RT86 Ice-Tech rotors.
Ice-Tech is Shimano’s approach to high-performance braking by reducing operating temperatures. Â Ice-Tech rotors are a two-piece floating design for increased stiffness and they feature a 3-layer construction. Â There’s an aluminium core sandwiched between two stainless steel outer layers. Â Aluminium dissipates heat quickly which works perfectly for braking. Â When combined with Shimano brakes and Ice-Tech pads, riders will notice consistent performance, reduced brake fade and less brake noise.Â
If you are replacing rotors or looking to upgrade, these should be a strong contender.Â
