Reinforced 2.8 mm Brake Disc 160 mm with 6 Holes
This reinforced brake disc is designed for electric scooters, e-bikes, and traditional bicycles that utilise a 160 mm diameter rotor with a 6-hole mounting pattern. Its robust 2.8 mm thickness provides enhanced strength and resistance to deformation compared to standard discs, making it suitable for both everyday riding and more demanding use.
The perforated braking surface is engineered to assist in dissipating heat and clearing away dirt and debris, contributing to consistent and reliable braking performance. Each disc includes six mounting screws for installation.
Key Features and Advantages

Compatibility and Installation
Before purchasing, it is crucial to verify compatibility with your existing braking system. Compare the diameter, thickness, and the specific arrangement of the six mounting holes with your current brake disc. Pay close attention to the dimensions of the central opening and the bolt circle diameter, as compatibility is not solely determined by the outer diameter.
For safe operation, ensure that the brake disc is correctly installed and all mounting screws are tightened securely according to your vehicle's manufacturer specifications. After installation, perform a bedding-in procedure to ensure optimal brake performance. This typically involves a series of moderate stops to allow the brake pads to conform to the new disc surface.
Maintenance and Safety
Regularly inspect your brake disc for signs of wear, damage, or contamination. Replace the disc if it shows excessive wear, cracks, or becomes warped. Contamination from oil or grease can severely impair braking performance and should be addressed immediately by cleaning or replacing the disc and pads.
