Marginal gains are only marginal until they add up.

Developed in collaboration with the riders of UAE Team Emirates, the X-Rotor Aero represents Carbon-Ti's most advanced brake rotor to date. Designed specifically for time trials, high-speed road racing and triathlon competition, it combines aerodynamic efficiency with the braking performance expected from a premium race component.

At its core is a redesigned carbon fibre body derived from the acclaimed X-Rotor SteelCarbon 3. Wind tunnel optimisation has shaped the rotor to reduce aerodynamic drag and improve airflow at speed, helping riders extract every possible advantage when performance matters most.

The stainless steel braking track delivers powerful, predictable braking and effective heat management, while Grade 5 titanium rivets, a dedicated AL7075 Center Lock adapter and laser-engraved titanium protection plate complete a remarkably sophisticated assembly. Rounded CNC-machined edges improve safety and ensure full UCI compliance.

Designed for riders who appreciate detail.

Built for those who chase seconds.
