Detailed Product Description

The DuraGo BR901622 is a full cast, vented disc brake rotor constructed from cast iron, providing a balance of durability and heat management. Its vented design allows air to flow between the rotor surfaces, reducing the risk of brake fade during extended use. With a nominal thickness of 1.02 inches and a discard thickness of 0.91 inches, this rotor meets the specifications required for safe and effective braking. The rotor’s 11.81-inch diameter and 1.79-inch height ensure compatibility with specific Buick, Chevrolet, and GMC vehicles, including the Buick Encore GX, Chevrolet Malibu, and GMC Trailblazer. The non-directional braking surface simplifies installation, and the conventional rotor design fits standard caliper setups without the need for an ABS tone ring.
