Details on the DFC Brake Rotor - Drilled and Slotted - Silver Line

The DFC Brake Rotor - Drilled and Slotted - Silver line by Dynamite Friction focuses on rotors that combine drilled holes and slots on the braking surface. This design aids in reducing brake fade by allowing gases and heat to escape more efficiently during braking. The silver zinc coating on the rotor hat provides additional rust resistance, extending the rotor's service life. This product line is tailored for drivers seeking reliable braking performance with enhanced durability.

Product Specifications and Features

This disc brake rotor is vented, which means it has internal vanes between the two braking surfaces to improve airflow and cooling. The rotor's directional surface pattern, featuring both drilled holes and slots, helps maintain clean contact between the brake pad and rotor by channeling away dust, water, and gases. The rotor's nominal thickness is 20 mm, with a discard thickness of 18 mm, indicating when replacement is necessary to maintain safe braking performance.
