The rotor features a 3-layer sandwich structure of stainless steel/aluminum/stainless steel, an alloy lock ring, and a mud-shedding design. It's lightweight, heat-resistant, with less fade, less noise, and longer pad life. It belongs to the DEORE XT T780 Series, and the 160mm rotor weighs about 135g on average.

Using this Shimano disc brake rotor is straightforward. Just install it on your bike following the standard 6-bolt mounting procedure. Make sure to use the anti-loosening tightening plate to keep it securely in place. When riding, you'll notice consistent braking performance thanks to the Ice Technology. As for maintenance, regularly check the rotor for any signs of wear or damage. Clean it with a mild detergent and water to remove dirt and debris. If you notice excessive noise or a decrease in braking performance, it might be time to replace the brake pads. Also, avoid riding through deep mud as much as possible to keep the mud-shedding design working effectively.
