Detailed Product Features and Specifications

This Centric disc brake rotor features a nominal thickness of 1.260 inches (32.000 mm) and a discard thickness of 1.201 inches (30.500 mm), ensuring precise wear limits for safe operation. The rotor has an outside diameter of 13.583 inches (345.000 mm) and an overall height of 2.075 inches (52.700 mm). The vented design includes 47 straight vanes that promote effective heat dissipation during braking, reducing the risk of brake fade. The rotor's smooth surface finish supports consistent pad contact and braking performance.

The hat section is coated to resist corrosion and has a center hole diameter of 2.504 inches (63.600 mm) with a mounting bolt hole circle diameter of 108.000 mm (4.252 inches). It accommodates five lug holes with a diameter of 0.618 inches (15.700 mm). The floating disc mounting system helps maintain rotor alignment under varying thermal and mechanical stresses, contributing to longer rotor life and improved braking consistency.
