Description

Looking to upgrade your bike's brakes? The Shimano XT SM-RT86 Ice-Tech rotors are a top choice. These rotors use Ice-Tech technology to reduce operating temperatures, ensuring high-performance braking.

The two-piece floating design of the Ice-Tech rotors increases stiffness, and they feature a 3-layer construction with an aluminum core between two stainless steel outer layers. Aluminum's quick heat dissipation is perfect for braking. When paired with Shimano brakes and Ice-Tech pads, you'll enjoy consistent performance, less brake fade, and reduced brake noise.

If you're replacing or upgrading rotors, these are a great option. They offer excellent value for money and reliable performance for any rider.

Using your Shimano XT SM - RT86 Ice - Tech disc rotor is straightforward. First, make sure you have the right mounting standard, which is a standard 6 - bolt. Attach the rotor to your bike using the 6 rotor bolts that come in the box. You can choose between metal (sintered) or resin (organic) brake pads, but for the best performance, pair it with Shimano brakes and Ice - Tech pads.

Clean it gently with a non - abrasive cleaner to keep it in good condition. Remember, if you plan to increase the rotor size, check with your frame and fork manufacturer to avoid any damage to your bike. Also, you'll need to get different adaptors when increasing the size.
