The Hope RX Centrelock Floating Disc Rotor is an essential upgrade for road cyclists seeking enhanced braking precision and thermal management. Designed for modern road bikes with centrelock hubs, its floating design minimizes warping during intense descents by allowing for thermal expansion. While it offers superior performance compared to standard rotors, users should note that the lockring is not included in the package and must be sourced separately.

No, the lockring is not included with the Hope RX Floating Disc Rotor.
No, this is specifically designed for Centrelock hubs and cannot be used with 6-bolt mounts.
Floating rotors manage heat better, reducing the chance of the metal warping under high heat, which leads to better performance.
You will need the appropriate lockring tool, which is typically the same tool used for installing cassettes or external bottom brackets.
This rotor is specifically optimized for road cycling demands; for mountain bike applications, check the Hope RX series specifications for cross-compatibility.
Check your frame and caliper clearance; ensure the rotor is fully seated on the hub splines and the caliper is centered.
Ensure the braking surface is free from oil or grease; clean with isopropyl alcohol and perform a proper brake pad bedding-in process.
Verify that your hub is truly a Centrelock compatible hub and that the splines are free of debris or paint buildup.
To install the Hope RX rotor, ensure your hub is a standard centrelock type. You will need a compatible centrelock lockring, as one is not provided in the box. 1. Align the splines of the rotor with the hub interface. 2. Slide the rotor onto the hub until it sits flush against the spline shoulder. 3. Secure the rotor using a lockring, tightening to the manufacturer's specified torque rating using a standard cassette tool or external bottom bracket tool depending on your lockring style. Always check your frame and caliper clearance before your first ride, as the floating carrier design can sometimes interfere with oversized chainstays or non-standard flat-mount adapters. Clean the braking surface regularly with isopropyl alcohol to maintain optimal pad contact and prevent contamination.
