Control inspires confidence. Weight rewards the climb.

The X-Rotor SteelCarbon 3 160 Center Lock brings together braking performance, heat management and lightweight construction in a package that reflects Carbon-Ti's uncompromising approach to component design.

Built around a semi-floating architecture, the rotor combines a redesigned 1.8mm stainless steel braking track with a structural carbon fibre inner body, joined by Grade 5 titanium hardware and a precision-machined AL7075 Center Lock adapter. The result is a rotor that delivers consistent braking performance while remaining exceptionally light for its size.

The latest SteelCarbon 3 generation introduces a revised braking surface designed to improve heat dissipation, increase braking consistency and optimise pad wear. Rounded CNC-machined edges enhance safety and ensure UCI compliance, while the semi-floating construction allows the braking track to perform consistently under heavy braking and changing temperatures.

Every detail has a purpose.

Every gram has been challenged.
