Six recessed slots create channels to allow water, mud, and other debris trapped between the pad and rotor to escape during braking. Upgrade the stopping power and heat dissipation by increasing the size of your rotor giving you more surface area and leverage.
Specification
Compatible with Centerlock hubs
Does not include lockring
Size: 140MM, 160MM
TRP’s slotted rotor is designed for the most demanding riders in the most demanding conditions. The aluminium spider gives superior heat dissipation and excellent stiffness. Six recessed slots create channels to allow water, mud, and other debris trapped between the pad and rotor to escape during braking. When debris gets trapped between the pad and rotor braking power is dramatically reduced, these recessed slots maintain a more consistent brake feeling in mixed conditions. Upgrade the stopping power and heat dissipation by increasing the size of your rotor giving you more surface area and leverage.
This guide is for cyclists looking to upgrade their braking performance with the TRP-25 Centerlock Rotor. These rotors offer superior heat dissipation and stiffness, enhancing your confidence on the trails. Keep in mind that these rotors do not include a lockring, so you'll need to source one separately.

FAQs
What is the purpose of the slots on the rotor?
The slots help channel water, mud, and debris away from the brake pads, maintaining braking power in mixed conditions.
Are the rotors compatible with all brake pads?
Generally, yes, but it's always best to check the pad manufacturer's recommendations for your specific brake system.
How do I know what size rotor to get?
Check your bike's fork and frame for maximum rotor size. Also, consider your riding style and the terrain you typically ride on.
How often should I replace my rotors?
Replace your rotors when they show excessive wear, are damaged, or when the braking performance degrades significantly.
What tools do I need to install the rotor?
You will need a Centerlock lockring tool and a torque wrench.
Why isn't a lockring included?
Lockrings are not included to allow users to select the appropriate lockring style for their hub. Be sure to purchase a compatible lockring.
How do I clean my rotors?
Use a disc brake cleaner or isopropyl alcohol and a clean cloth to wipe the rotor surfaces. Avoid contaminating the rotor surface with oil or grease.
Troubleshooting
Brake noise or squealing.
Clean the rotors with isopropyl alcohol and check for contamination on the brake pads. Ensure the caliper is properly aligned.
Poor braking performance.
Check brake pads for wear and replace if necessary. Ensure the rotor is properly installed and tightened. Consider the brake pad material and rotor compatibility.
Lockring is loose.
Tighten the lockring to the manufacturer's specified torque using the correct tool.
Pros and Cons
Pros
Superior heat dissipation compared to solid rotors.
Increased braking confidence due to enhanced stiffness.
Consistent braking performance in wet and muddy conditions.
Compatible with Centerlock hubs for easy installation.
Available in multiple sizes for tailored performance.
Cons
Lockring not included; must be purchased separately.
Requires compatible Centerlock hubs.
May require adjustment to brake caliper position when changing rotor size.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Ensure your bike has Centerlock hubs.
Clean the hub interface to remove any dirt or debris.
Place the rotor on the hub.
Install and tighten the lockring (sold separately) to the manufacturer's recommended torque.
Compatibility:
Compatible with Centerlock hubs.
Available in 140mm and 160mm sizes; check your fork and frame for size compatibility.
Ensure your brake calipers are compatible with the rotor size.
Care:
Clean the rotors regularly with a dedicated disc brake cleaner or isopropyl alcohol.
Avoid touching the rotor surface with bare hands, as oils can contaminate the braking surface.
Inspect the rotors for wear and damage regularly. Replace if necessary.
