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 to resist rust and corrosion. This coating extends the rotor’s service life and maintains a clean appearance, especially in environments prone to moisture and road salt. The full coating on both the disc and hat surfaces helps preserve the rotor’s structural integrity and performance over time.

Technical Specifications and Features

This Centric rotor features a solid disc design with a smooth surface type, optimized for consistent braking contact. The rotor’s nominal thickness is 0.394 inches (10.0 mm), with a discard thickness of 0.335 inches (8.5 mm), ensuring clear service limits for safe replacement. The rotor measures 10.984 inches (279 mm) in outside diameter and has an overall height of 1.665 inches (42.3 mm). It includes five lug holes sized at 0.563 inches (14.3 mm) diameter and a mounting bolt hole circle diameter of 4.5 inches (114.3 mm). The floating disc mounting design allows for better heat expansion and reduces warping risks during heavy braking. Note that this rotor does not include an ABS tone ring or bearings.
