Stopping power is expected. Refinement is optional.
The X-Rotor SteelCarbon 3 Center Lock represents Carbon-Ti's latest evolution in lightweight braking performance — combining advanced materials, precision engineering and Italian craftsmanship into one of the most distinctive brake rotors available today.
Built around a semi-floating design, the rotor pairs a redesigned 1.8mm stainless steel braking track with a structural carbon fibre inner body. A dedicated AL7075 Center Lock adapter, Grade 5 titanium rivets and a laser-engraved titanium protection plate complete a system designed to maximise performance while minimising weight.
The braking surface has been redesigned to improve heat dissipation, deliver more consistent braking performance and promote even pad wear. Rounded CNC-machined edges improve safety and ensure compliance with UCI regulations, while the semi-floating construction allows the braking track to perform consistently under demanding conditions.
Every detail serves a purpose.
Every gram has been questioned.
