Bringing Shimano's cutting-edge brake technology to a wider user base. The Ultegra RT-CL800 Centerlock Rotor offers professional thermal management and a lightweight design in a single package. Ice-Tech Freeza This rotor, centered around its system, promises consistent braking performance that will safely carry you even on long descents following strenuous climbs. road as well as gravel besides their bicycles XT level mountain bike (MTB) It's also an ideal choice for users. Here's a detailed product description optimized for search engines and informative for the consumer:

❄️ Mastery in Thermal Management: Ice-Tech Freeza Technology

The secret to the RT-CL800's performance, "sandwich" or "clad" It lies in its multi-layered structure, which is called [name of structure]. This special construction (Stainless Steel - Aluminum - Stainless Steel) is not just a weight optimization, but a marvel of cooling engineering.

• 🔥 Up to 50% Surface Temperature Reduction: The intense heat generated during braking is absorbed by stainless steel surfaces, which are excellent heat conductors. finned aluminum core Heat is transferred. Thanks to the aluminum fins, heat is quickly dissipated from the rotor surface and the bell area. This system, compared to standard rotors... It lowers the surface temperature by approximately 50°C.

• 🛡️ Improved Brake Performance and Durability: There are two direct and critical benefits to a lower operating temperature:

  1. Brake Fading Resistance: Braking power loss due to warming (fading) is greatly reduced. Your braking force remains consistent and reliable on long descents.

  2. Up to 20% Longer Brake Pad Life: Overheating is the main reason for increased brake pad wear. The RT-CL800, by operating cooler, both metal (sintered) as well as resin It extends the life of your brake pads and reduces your maintenance costs.

• 🔇 Silent Braking Experience: Expansion and vibrations caused by heat are the primary cause of brake squeaking. When heat is effectively managed, braking becomes much quieter and more comfortable.

🔧 User-Friendly Design: Center-Lock System and Mounting Options

Shimano's patented Center-Lock Its connection is revolutionary compared to traditional 6-bolt systems:

• ⚙️ Installation and Disassembly in Seconds: Simply thread the rotor onto the spline gears of the rear hub and tighten it with a lock ring. This significantly reduces assembly time and minimizes the margin of error.

• 🎯 Perfect Centering and Increased Rigidity: The spline connection perfectly centers the rotor on the shaft. This ensures vibration-free, warp-free (non-bending) rotation and more efficient braking.

• 🔩 Two Different Locking Ring Options: The RT-CL800 is offered with two different mounting tool options.

  • Internal Serration (Internal Gear - IRTCL800SSE): Special Shimano TL-LR10/LR12 Requires a wrench or a cassette removal key. Offers a cleaner and more compact look.

  • External Serration (External Gear): A standard Cassette removal wrench It can be attached and detached. It is more accessible for emergency intervention outside the workshop.

  • YOUR PRODUCT TITLE (IRTCL800SSE): The model code for this rotor is... 140mm in diameter and Internal Serration (Internal Threading) This indicates that it is the version with a locking ring.

🚴 Wide Compatibility and Versatile Use

The RT-CL800 is designed to be seamlessly compatible with Shimano's mid-range and high-end groupsets:

• Area of ​​Use: Road, Gravel, Mountain Biking (MTB)

• Group Cohesion: Ultegra (R8000/R8100), GRX (RX400/RX600/RX800), XT (M8000) It can be used with series brake assemblies.

• Brake Pad Compatibility: Both Metal (Sintered) as well as Resin It can be safely used with brake pads.

• Diameter Options: Available in different diameters such as 140mm (light road/gravel), 160mm (standard gravel/MTB front), 180mm & 203mm (MTB rear/heavy duty front). As stated in the title. 140mm The larger size version is ideal, especially for rear-brake applications and light handling.
