EBC Brakes Contour Brake Rotor MD2001XC

With contoured profile to reduce product weight, rear versions of this new programme are made in HPSR steel and zinc plated to avoid corrosion. The latest EBC contour PLUS rotors are made with special stainless steel and new lightweight profile and feature the new scraper slot system which has proved to be so successful in preventing early life rotor damage when bedding in new brakes. The scraper slots remove any loose particles/debris as the pads bed in during early life after fitment and prevent rotor scoring.

• The steel used in the EBC® rotor blades is a special stainless blend with higher friction effect than normal heat-treated stainless steel found on stock discs. Boasts up to 10% improvement in friction effect improving brakes even further. Weight of the X and XC series is reduced by 5-10% by using a six only button drive system on a lightweight alloy center hub, which, once again, grabs the lead over stock parts. The SD-System™ uses a square sided rivet with many advantages. The SD-System™ of square sided buttons means that the rotor can expand inwards and outwards unrestrained and that perfect rotor functionality is retained at any speed or load. This extends the lifetime of the rotor and prevents distortion failures. Keeps the rotor blades perfectly true and flat throughout their life cycle and technically the only reason for a rotor to need replacement will be impact damage or over a very extended number of miles possible rotor wear limits being exceeded. This means that a rotor equipped with the EBC® Brakes SD-System™ could last 5-10 times as long as a conventional rotor built with circular buttons. The drive forces under braking are transmitted over a line contact on the square side of the button compared to the point contact of a circular button. Maintains close tolerances of the rotor in the drive direction over a far longer period thereby extending rotor life.
