Carbon disc rotor
Samuel Carbon Centerlock Disc Rotor
A carbon-composite Centerlock disc rotor from Taiwan, available in Standard or semi-solid Aero form in 140mm and 160mm. It tests well above ISO 4210 braking requirements, wet and dry.
Highlights
Why we rate it
Light carbon construction
High-modulus carbon ribs and aerospace epoxy are heat-compressed into a stiff, light rotor.
Strong, consistent braking
Exceeds 550N peak braking force in ISO 4210 testing against a 350N minimum, with the same performance wet and dry.
Handles the heat
Resin with a glass transition above 300°C resists fade on long descents.
Quiet in the wet
Carbon's natural damping suppresses howl and squeal, confirmed in heavy-rain downhill testing.
Aero option
The semi-solid Aero version smooths airflow past the spokes for less turbulence.
