Review on SHIMANO XT SM RT86 Rotor 6 Bolt by Chris Anderson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Huge upgrade for my Nishiki Colorado 27.5 MTB

I bought two of these to replace the stock/OEM rotors on my Nishiki MTB and was very impressed. My first real ride was on the moderate six-mile trail; Since I ended up using the rear brake more, it was easy to spot the dip from the front. There's a big noticeable difference, as there's a lot more "bite" when needed, without sacrificing good modulation width. I need to go back and use my front brake a little more to catch up/adjust the rear brake. Very happy with these Shimano XT m8000 hydraulic brake upgrades.

Pros
  • Solid finish
Cons
  • Damaged
