Strengths: gator wind cutter 203mm stainless mounted on the front.
this thing is very light for the size, just a tad heavier than the wimpy 160 hygia elite rotor it replaced(besides the rotors elites are excellent brakes). good power and modulation. good finish and great looks! its a freaking saw blade for crying out loud! bad*ss!!
Weaknesses: gets a bit hot on longer decents causing fade.
had a slight wobble-but most do, a quick tweek and easily fixed
Similar Products Used: avid cleensweep(very nice all around rotor), hayes(overbuilt) and hygia(cheaper looking, power fades badly)though the rest of the hygia brake kit is excellent for the low price
Bike Setup: carver killer b titanium, hand picked parts kit
