Review on 🚴 Ultimate Performance: SHIMANO XT SM-RT86 Rotor - Enhanced 6-Bolt Design by Richard Koh

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Is there much better than that?

This rotor changed my braking system. This is what I would call a clean upgrade over most of the standard rotors that many bikes come equipped with these days. I've gotten bigger, which translates to 'better', but I'm sure it has more to do with quality and design than a 'bigger is better' mentality. Installation was easy, aligning my calipers was very easy. Painless installation. I needed more stopping power. 300lb racer on the Specialized Fatboy. I placed 203 in the front and 180 in the back. I think I will put this setup on all my bikes in the future.

Pros
  • Great overall performance
Cons
  • Doubtful
