Description
Galfer Wave Disc Rotor, 6-Bolt, 2.0mm thick, 203 & 223mm
Every high-quality, Galfer-patented Wave® MTB/eBike 6-bolt disc rotor is made from a proprietary mix of virgin high carbon 420 stainless steel, laser cut (never stamped), double disc-parallel ground to assure perfect parallel flatness and heat treated to each specific application. Wave design comes from the Galfer motorcycle division and has been used across many disciplines at the highest level. Not compatible with Fulcrum AFS System.
- Wave ® design keeps brakes extremely cool in demanding conditions
- Made with a proprietary blend of 420 virgin stainless steel with high carbon content that provides better memory and friction
- Laser cut to reduce the stress of the steel during production
- 2.0mm thickness
- Includes 6 mounting bolts
- Precision made at the Galfer factory in Barcelona, Spain
203 & 223 diameter
MTB Rotor Sizing
Learn more about Rotor Sizing, Wear & Replacement below. Choosing the right size rotor is important to your riding. Too little rotor, and well, you're not going to stop! Too much rotor can create a touchy feeling brake. Things to consider when purchasing rotors are heat capacity and leverage. Heat capacity is a function of both the model's shape and construction as well as its diameter. Rotors with more cutouts will be lighter but sacrifice braking surface and material. This will increase heat saturation and decrease overall power. Some of this can be changed going to a larger diameter rotor. A larger diameter rotor will have more material (which slows heat saturation) as well as increased leverage on the wheel. Increasing rotor size (leverage) gives your brakes added mechanical advantage for greater stopping power. If you go too large your brakes may start to feel "touchy". As four piston brakes continue to gain popularity riders are able to consider slightly smaller rotors to improve modulation without sacrificing total power. Questions on what size is ideal? No problem. Chat with our team to dial in your brake performance for your riding style. ÂMTB Rotor Wear & Replacement
Rotor service life varies dependent on many reasons. Here are some of the more typical issues.Minimum Rotor Thickness

When to replace rotors
To maximize your purchase it's best to install new rotors with new brake pads. (Typically rotors will last 2-4 sets of brake pads.) Rotors & pads wear in together and often will "take shape" to each other. The image below illustrates some common wear issues for rotors and pads. When the rotor or pads have taken a shape out of parallel your brake performance is drastically diminished.
