Avid HS1 Brake Rotors
Product DescriptionGreat technology can change the way you ride, and with the Avid HS1 Heat Shedding Rotor you'll be riding longer than ever. With a new cross-drilled design, the HS1 holds true to its name by efficiently shedding heat. It allows you to tackle the technical by riding the brakes to your heart's content without fear of overheating. More control, less weight, and minimal wear -- that's our kind of rotor.The Avid HS1 Heat Shedding Rotor is the next step in disc brake technology. The one-piece stainless steel design utilizes cross-drilled technology (think Merckx-era drillium) for significant weight savings without compromising durability. The new design promotes heat regulation, and weighs around ten grams less than previous models. The cross-drilling also sheds water quickly, resulting in increased stopping power in wet weather. The Avid HS1 Heat Shedding Rotor is available in 160mm, 180mm and 200mm size. It uses the IS 6-bolt mounting pattern.

a Cross Country Rider Date Reviewed: January 26, 2013 Strengths: Quiet - I didnt hear much noise from back there. Stopping Power - Felt great out there. Seem to lock it down when I needed it to. Weaknesses: Durability / Strength - These came stock on my 2012 stumpjumper comp - I picked up the bike at the end of the season, so I got a hand full of rides out of the bike and on my last rip when I could feel at some point something happened I felt very slugish and had to fight the bike. When I was packing the bike up I found out my rear wheel barely free spun. I bent the rotor real bad, no idea when or how. But it was so bad the LBS mech couldn't figure out how I did such a bend and wasnt able to straighten it. Bottom Line:

from San Jose, CA Date Reviewed: January 26, 2012 Strengths: My first time at Downieville I realized how much I still have to learn... ;-) As a result of that the 160mm stock rotors from the Avid CR's started to "fade" as they were getting hot: NOT the right time for weak brakes. I read about the HS1's and decided to give them a try. I ordered the 180mm rotors with adapters and after a short brake-in phase they behaved much smoother, better modulation, more "bite", are more quiet than the stock rotors. Don't expect miracles from getting new rotors, but they do behave much better. Weaknesses: Ordering the right IS/post adapters can be tricky, since most Avid rotors that size are 185mm, while the HS1's are 180mm.
