Product Line Details: Centric GCX Elemental Protection Disc Brake Rotors - Full Coating

The Centric GCX Elemental Protection Disc Brake Rotors - Full Coating line focuses on providing rotors with a full protective coating on both the disc and hat surfaces. This coating helps prevent rust and corrosion, extending the service life of the rotor, especially in environments prone to moisture and road salt. This product line is engineered to maintain smooth braking performance while reducing the need for frequent rotor replacement.

Technical Description and Features

This disc brake rotor features a vented design with straight vanes that promote efficient heat dissipation during braking, reducing the risk of brake fade. The rotor's nominal thickness of 0.748 inches (19.000 mm) ensures structural integrity, while the discard thickness of 0.669 inches (17.000 mm) indicates the minimum safe thickness before replacement is necessary. The smooth surface finish supports consistent pad contact and braking performance. The floating disc mounting system allows for slight rotor movement, which can help reduce noise and improve braking feel.
