SRAM HS2 Rotor - NEW, Thicker & More Power!

Intro:

New for SRAM, the SRAM HS2 Rotor, a new rotor designed for mountain bikes and the specific heat and power that is needed for the highest level of performance. A few weeks ago if you pay attention to the World Cup Downhill bikes, we saw a few of these HS2 rotors on Loris Vergier’s winning Trek Session paired with SRAM Code RSC brakes. Now we know all the details about these new rotors. With a new brake track pattern to increase pad traction as well as a thicker rotor all around at 2.00mm thick. The HS2 is designed to create more power, with better heat dissipation and still be quiet under braking too. 

• Thicker 2.00mm rotor
• Superior heat management (40°C less than Centerline, per Garda test)
• Recessed spokes with thermal dissipating paint
• 7% more power
• 160mm, 180mm, 200mm & 220mm
• Available in 6 bolt and Centerlock  
• MTB specific
• $50-$65 usd

What Are The New Improvements & Advantages?

While we haven't got any of the new HS2 rotors in to test just yet, SRAM has done some extensive testing compared to their old Centerline rotors, this all equates to 7% claimed more power as well as much better heat management  (40°C less than Centerline, per Garda test). 

Worldwide’s Thoughts:

I don't think any rider has said I need less braking power, ever. Over the past few years SRAM brakes have made huge improvements and specifically the Code RSC brakes. We run them lots at Worldwide Cyclery and now to pair the Code RSC with a better rotor with the HS2 we are stoked. To manage heat better while also providing more braking power is a win win. With all the size options and being in both centerlock and 6 bolt applications, these SRAM HS2 rotors should be easy to make work on your current bike.
