Good rotors that are quiet in operation and look nice on a road wheel
At road.cc every product is thoroughly tested for as long as it takes to get a proper insight into how well it works. Our reviewers are experienced cyclists that we trust to be objective. While we strive to ensure that opinions expressed are backed up by facts, reviews are by their nature an informed opinion, not a definitive verdict. We don't intentionally try to break anything but we do try to look for weak points in any design.
The rotors cope with heat pretty well; there are plenty of steep descents round here where dragging one brake can induce a bit of fade and that's certainly the case with these rotors, but not noticeably worse than the outgoing Shimano Ice-Tech rotors, and certainly not ever a worry outside of times I was deliberately trying to make it happen. They seem to resist warping pretty well, too.
Performance is good: the 'quiet, consistent stopping power' that Jagwire promises has been much in evidence. They're less noisy than the well-used Shimano rotors they replaced; you get a bit of chatter on light braking and when they're wet they squeak a bit, but they've been as well-behaved as any rotor I've tried in the very wet conditions we've had recently., and there are plenty of less expensive options.
RRP for Shimano's Dura-Ace rotors is £65 and Shimano rotors with this kind of construction are a fair bit cheaper. About the same as other third party options, eg SwissStop.They're good rotors that are pretty quiet, but it's a fairly hefty price tag for what's a fairly standard two-piece rotor.We’ve noticed you’re using an ad blocker.
