Disc Brake Rotors
MATRIX LIGHTWEIGHT DISC BRAKE ROTORS
The latest innovation in braking technology are composite disc brake
rotors.These lightweight disc brake rotors are made with an advanced
aluminum Metal Matrix Composite that offers an extended lifetime
and unbeatable durability. Composite Matrix Brakes offer high
performance and unparalleled stopping power.Compared to traditional
cast iron and even stainless steel brake rotors the Matrix composite
brakes rotors offer
•60% weight reduction
•More than three times the life expectancy: 200,000 km lifetime
•Quieter braking
•Higher resistance to wear, warp, and corrosion
These lightweight brake rotors are manufactured using Metal Matrix
Composite (MMC) materials originally developed for NASA thermal
panels and offer an unprecedented level of quality. Rotors are made
from a lightweight aluminum-ceramic composite material that enables
increased fuel efficiency without sacrificing performance. The ultradurable
reinforced surface eliminates the effects of wear, corrosion,
and deformation.With over three times the life expectancy of cast iron
rotors, lightweight Matrix brake rotors will rarely need to be replaced
and therefor carry a lifetime warranty.Martix Brakes' MMC material has
been developed specifically for braking applications. Over years of
development, MMC engineers have designed the material to exceed
the current limitations of cast iron brakes due to weight, strength, and
temperature management.The composite brake material used in Matrix
Brakes is the first of its kind and is mixed,cast,heat-treated,and finished
to the highest quality. Matrix brakes MUST be used with our specially
selected Organic/Kevlar brake pads. The use of another brand, type
and/or material of pad will not only drastically reduce the braking
performance, but will also void warranty. Special brake pads for racing
use are available upon request. Race pads will give even more extreme
braking power, but are not recommended for street use.All Matrix disc
brake rotors are floating and come with a standard or a directional
"Legged" carrier.They are available in clear with a polished carrier and
polished floating elements, clear with a chrome carrier and chrome
floating elements or black with a black carrier and black anodized
floating elements. Rotors, carriers and floating elements are available
separately as well. And with the various colors of floating elements,
you can build your own custom combination.
Note: Due to the large variety of Matrix Brakes, all brake rotors are
build to order.Allow a minimum of 2 days for building and shipping.
