What is the benefit of slotted brake rotors?

Slotted rotors help improve braking performance by clearing away heat, dust, and gas. This allows the brake pads to maintain better contact with the rotor surface, leading to more consistent stopping power, especially under heavy use.

What does the black coating on the rotor do?

The black e-coating is a protective finish applied to the rotor surface. Its primary purpose is to prevent rust and corrosion, keeping the rotor looking good and performing well, particularly in areas exposed to moisture and road salt.

Is this rotor sold individually or as a pair?

This part number is for a single (1) front left slotted brake rotor. If you need to replace both front rotors, you will need to order two of these.

About this part

Product Details

The slots machined into this R1 Concepts brake rotor are key to its performance. They help clear away heat, dust, and gas that can build up between the pad and rotor surface. This means you get more consistent stopping power, especially during repeated hard braking.

This rotor is made from a durable cast iron that's treated with a black e-coating. This coating not only gives it a clean look but also helps prevent rust and corrosion, which is especially important for the front-left wheel that sees a lot of road spray. It's designed to be a direct replacement for your original rotor, so installation should be straightforward.
