Overview
Hope Floating Rotor: 1.8 mm two-piece floating disc in 6-bolt or Centrelock, 140-220 mm, 146 g (180 mm), from £60 UK RRP.
Hope's Floating Rotor is its high-performance option for demanding applications, made in two parts: a CNC-machined aluminium centre and a stainless-steel braking surface. The true floating design allows one degree of freedom so the outer can expand under heat without warping, while the aluminium centre acts as a heat sink.
The 1.8 mm rotor is offered in 6-bolt and Centrelock fitments from 140 to 220 mm, with centres in seven colours.
