What is the benefit of straight vanes in a brake rotor?

Straight vanes in a brake rotor help to direct airflow through the rotor's internal structure. This consistent airflow is important for dissipating heat effectively, which helps prevent brake fade during repeated or hard braking events.

Why are the rotors slotted?

The slots on the rotor surface help to sweep away brake dust and gases that can accumulate between the brake pad and the rotor. This keeps the braking surfaces cleaner, allowing for a more consistent and reliable grip.
