My new lightweight brake rotors have arrived from the XC Racer shop. Unfortunately, they didn’t have any plain silver ones in stock so I was persuadedby its owner, MTB endurance legend Ant White, to go with a bit of bling! Although they have all sorts of colours, I went for white to match my frame. These Alligator rotors are feather light at 76 grams for the 160mm and 96 grams for the 180mm, saving me 80 grams in the most important area, the rotating mass. They come with a set of bolts and nicely protected on a cardboard backing.
