Shimano RT-MT800 Disc Rotor - 180mm - Deore XT

ICE TECHNOLOGIES FREEZA is Shimano's advanced heat management system for disc brake rotors. It incorporates a special construction that dramatically enhances heat dissipation, reducing brake fade and extending the life of brake pads.

Rotor size depends on your bike's intended use, frame/fork clearance, and brake caliper type. 180mm offers a good balance of power and heat management for many applications, but consult your bike manufacturer's recommendations or a professional mechanic if unsure.

No, the RT-MT800 uses Shimano's CENTER LOCK mounting system. It is not compatible with standard 6-bolt disc brake hubs. You will need a hub that specifically supports the Center Lock interface.

Use isopropyl alcohol or a dedicated disc brake cleaner and a clean, lint-free cloth. Avoid using degreasers or lubricants on the braking surface, as they can severely impair braking performance.

The average weight for the 180mm Shimano RT-MT800 rotor is approximately 132g.

Yes, the Shimano RT-MT800 disc rotor comes complete with a Center Lock external lockring for installation.

Ensure the rotor is clean and free of contaminants. Check that brake pads are properly seated and not glazed. Verify that the rotor is true (not warped) and properly torqued. Bed in the brake pads and rotor according to manufacturer instructions.

Check for rotor contamination, excessive wear, or warping. Ensure brake fluid levels are adequate and the system is properly bled. Inspect brake pads for wear or contamination. Verify the rotor is compatible and correctly installed.

Carefully inspect the rotor for visible signs of bending. Minor bends may sometimes be corrected with specialized tools, but significant warping often requires rotor replacement. Ensure the rotor was not damaged during installation or impacted.
