Shimano XT IceTech Rotor
Best performance upgrade for mountain bikers tackling long, demanding descents.
This rotor uses a clever three-layer construction to keep temperatures down during long descents. By sandwiching aluminum between steel, it prevents brake fade and keeps your stopping power consistent, making it a reliable choice for demanding trail riders.
