Product Information
Full details
The Shimano RT-CL750 Centre Lock Rotor is designed for mountain bike riders who demand consistent, high-performance stopping power under extreme conditions. By utilizing a 2.2mm thick stainless steel construction and an integrated alloy spider, it offers superior heat management and rigidity for long-lasting durability; however, users should ensure their brake system is compatible with 220mm rotors before installation to avoid clearance issues.

FAQs
Does this rotor come with the lockring?
Yes, each RT-CL750 rotor includes the necessary lockring for installation.
Can I use this rotor with non-Shimano brake systems?
While it is designed for Shimano systems, it may work with other systems, but we recommend verifying compatibility with your specific caliper and pad type.
Is 220mm compatible with all mountain bikes?
No. Many frames and forks have maximum rotor size limitations. Always check your bike manufacturer's specifications before upgrading to a 220mm rotor.
Why is this rotor thicker than standard ones?
The 2.2mm thickness provides better heat dissipation and prevents the rotor from warping under the extreme stress of heavy, consistent braking.
What tool do I need to install this?
You will need a standard external bottom bracket or cassette lockring tool to tighten the Centre Lock ring.
Troubleshooting
Brakes are making a squealing noise
Clean the rotor surface with a dedicated disc brake cleaner and ensure the brake pads are not contaminated with oil or debris.
Rotor feels loose after installation
Check that the Centre Lock ring is tightened to the recommended torque specification and that the splines are properly seated on the hub.
Brake rub while riding
Check the wheel axle for proper seating or re-align the brake caliper to ensure the pads are centered over the rotor track.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Superior heat management for steep descents
- Easy and quick installation via Centre Lock
- High structural rigidity prevents vibration
- Excellent mud-clearing capabilities
- Includes essential lockring for immediate setup
Cons
- Not compatible with frames or forks limited to smaller rotor sizes
- Requires Centre Lock specific hubs
- Heavier than ultra-lightweight race rotors due to increased thickness
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation requires a standard external bottom bracket/lockring tool to secure the rotor to the splined hub. Ensure the lockring is tightened to the manufacturer's specified torque rating to prevent loosening.
Compatibility Note: This 220mm rotor is specifically designed for integration with new-generation Shimano braking systems, including the BR-M9220, BR-M8220, BR-M6220, and MT620 series. Always verify that your frame and fork clearance can accommodate a 220mm rotor size.
Care: Periodically clean the braking surface with high-quality disc brake cleaner to remove oils or contaminants. Avoid touching the braking surface with bare skin, as oils from your fingers can reduce initial braking effectiveness and cause squealing.
