Shimano XT SM-RT86 Ice-Tech 6 Bolt Disc Brake Rotor
Upgrading your brakes? Be sure to consider these Shimano XT SM-RT86 Ice-Tech rotors.
Ice-Tech is Shimano's approach to high-performance braking by reducing operating temperatures. Ice-Tech rotors are a two-piece floating design for increased stiffness and they feature a 3-layer construction. There's an aluminium core sandwiched between two stainless steel outer layers. Aluminium dissipates heat quickly which works perfectly for braking. When combined with Shimano brakes and Ice-Tech pads, riders will notice consistent performance, reduced brake fade and less brake noise.
If you are replacing rotors or looking to upgrade, these should be a strong contender.
Who's this item for: Any rider chasing a great value for money, reliable solid rotor.
Mounting standard: Standard 6-Bolt
Materials: Stainless steel and aluminum.
Brake pad compatibility: You can use either metal (sintered) or resin (organic) brake pads on these rotors. Works best with Shimano brakes using Ice-Tech pads.
What's in the box: One SM-RT86 6 Bolt Rotor with 6 rotor bolts
Features:
- Two-piece floating rotor
- Ice-Tech technology.
Pros: High performance from a value for money and reliable rotor
Cons: Not much this is a great all round rotor
Please note: If you are increasing rotor size, please check with your frame and fork manufacturer. Certain models have max recommended rotor sizes and going beyond these sizes can cause severe damage. Also, if you increase rotor size you will need to use different adaptors.

Ice Ice Techy
by Andrew Reynolds
Got these to replace the OEM lower spec rotors that came on my bike, Out of the box these things look unreal (and that's the most important part besides stopping) - These are paired with Deore single pot brakes, also got the Ice Tec pads to match and they look great and feel great!
Excellent replacement discs on a Trek Rail 5

Bought a pair of these for my wife's new Trek Rail 5. It comes standard with Tektro disks that were actually going rusty! They were also starting to squeal quite badly (... wondered if they were out of round?).
I strapped these new babies on and immediately the squalling stopped and the braking performance improved. They're also shiny and bright and don't look like they'll ever go rusty.
Excellent product!
The only rotor I use on Shimano brakes!

Plenty of bite, doesn't make a noise and doesn't glaze up with a quick bed in process.

Good. Had a problem with Australia Post losing the items. Mountain Bikes Direct stepped up replaced the items with a better item. Pretty happy with the service but disappointed with Australia Post.
With a great product, comes
