BrakeTech AXIS™ SS Stainless Steel Oversize Rotor Kit

BrakeTech AXIS™ RR Rotors are purpose-built race rotors developed in a continuing effort to bring the very best to top-level world competitors. Utilizing the latest hi-tech stainless steel alloy, this proprietary metallurgy is formulated for the severe demands of top-level pro racing. The AXIS™ RR employs BrakeTech's floating architecture, optimized for the severe braking environment of pro-level racing.

The AXIS™ RR Oversized Rotor Kit delivers a twofold advantage. First, the larger diameter provides greater mechanical leverage on the wheel by moving the fulcrum point further out, so a given amount of pressure applied at the lever creates more stopping power at the wheel. Second, the larger rotor provides more mass, and greater mass increases the brakes' ability to deal with higher thermal loads. This is precisely the reason BrakeTech's 6mm rotors are a full 1mm thicker than the OE rotors.

The AXIS™ RR was developed as the replacement for BrakeTech's AXIS™ Iron rotor, driven by three key factors in the sport: round-race rotors have become dominant in FIM world-level racing and are now filtering down to many national series as well; many competitors who tried wave-style rotors and experienced problems have come full circle back to the elegant, highly effective simplicity of round rotors (BrakeTech's Cobra™ SS rotors, by comparison, use an optimized petal design, not a wave design); and iron is not legal in AMA or FIM pro-level competition.

The AXIS™ RR features a high-tech, multi-aspect lightening and vent hole pattern that adds just 25 grams over its Race-Spec Cobra™ SS counterpart. This configuration improves ventilation crossflow cooling, which, combined with the nominal increase in total mass, raises the rotor's thermal threshold to further resist heat-induced brake fade.

A pure race design optimized for its intended purpose, the AXIS™ RR remains very user-friendly on the street, making it an excellent choice for the high-performance enthusiast who prefers a round rotor over a contoured outer diameter. It is offered as a stablemate to the highly effective and successful Cobra™ SS, whose optimized petal design delivers round-rotor performance without the problems associated with wave-style rotors.
