Upgrade your bike's braking system with the top - notch Shimano XT SM - RT86 Ice - Tech rotors. Shimano's Ice - Tech technology is a game - changer, reducing operating temperatures for high - performance braking. These rotors feature a two - piece floating design, increasing stiffness, and a 3 - layer construction with an aluminium core between two stainless steel outer layers. Aluminium's quick heat dissipation is ideal for braking. When paired with Shimano brakes and Ice - Tech pads, you'll enjoy consistent performance, less brake fade, and reduced noise. Specifications include model SM - RT86, part of the SHIMANO DEORE XT M8000 Series. It weighs around 154.0 g (180 mm), comes with an anti - loosen tightening plate, and supports multiple outside diameters (160mm, 180mm, 203mm). It's compatible with both metal and resin pads.

Using the Shimano Deore Xt SM - RT86 Disc Rotor is easy. First, make sure your bike is suitable for a 6 - bolt 180mm rotor. Install the rotor on your bike's hub using the anti - loosen tightening plate provided. Pair it with Shimano brakes and Ice - Tech pads for the best performance. When riding, you'll notice a significant improvement in braking power. As for maintenance, regularly clean the rotor with a mild bike cleaner to remove dirt and debris. Check the bolts periodically to ensure they're tight. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials on the rotor, as this can damage the surface. If you notice any signs of excessive wear, such as uneven braking or strange noises, it might be time to replace the rotor.
