Scrub Components superlight disc brake rotors -- built one at a time from metal-matrix composite sheet.
Scrub's metal-matrix composite is used in other industries for racing applications like sport bikes and snowmobiles, but there is currently nothing like it available for your mountain bike. Manufactured in a few places in the world, this material is very expensive to produce. Scrub wanted to take a no compromise approach to every product they create.
While the material is the star of the show, Scrub also didn’t cut corners during manufacturing. Each piece is precision machined to ensure a flat braking surface, smooth outside edges, and solid bolt holes. Even the graphics and finish are like nothing you’ve ever seen on a disc rotor before!
Scrub's rotors are not just a spin off of some other product currently on the market. They are strong, durable, powerful, and do not rely on a coating of any kind to provide a friction surface. They do require the use of an organic/resin brake pad, but you do not have to leave them home when the trails get wet or muddy. As long as you use the appropriate sized rotor for your application, you can abuse them just as much as your heavy stainless steel rotors.
- Transfers heat 7 times more efficiently than steel
- Matrix material is stiffer than aluminum alloy, with almost zero weight penalty
- Great wear resistance - material does not require a coating to provide a durable and high performance friction surface, so there is nothing to wear off
- Precision machined braking surface to ensure flatness
- Made in the USA
- 6 bolt IS
- 160mm rotor weighs just 56g
- Organic brake pads required!
