SwissStop Catalyst Centrelock Disc Brake Rotor

You probably thought all Rotors were the same right? Well, not the Catalyst centerlock rotor from SwissStop. In 2015 some pretty smart engineers did a lot of testing of all the main rotors on the market and analysed the results. They then used their findings to develop a whole new rotor, one that offered sustained endurance and effective thermal management. What does this mean in the real world? Less brake fade, shorter stopping distances, slower wear rates and better structural integrity. They even have wear indicators to tell you when they need replacing, some pretty techy stuff.
