Shimano XT SM-RT86 Ice-Tech 6 Bolt Disc Brake Rotor
Description
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.

The only rotor I use on Shimano brakes!
by Keith
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.
