Motorcycle Rear Brake Rotors

One of the easiest and most beneficial motorcycle parts to upgrade on your bike are your motorcycle rear brake rotors. It’s known that proper braking translates to faster laps and cornering. Your standard street bike rear brake rotor will lose most of its effective stopping power under intense braking conditions. This is due to overheating from the constant friction applied to the rotor from the brake pad. The street bike rear brake rotors that we offer are much more high-performance and designed to hold up against the harsh conditions of hard riding.

Motorcycle rear brake rotors come in varied designs. Some are plain disks while others are cut into “waves.“ Most rotors these days are at least cross drilled for better heat dissipation. Many rotors come contoured or slotted to again aid in heat dissipation. The cooler the motorcycle rear brake rotor stays while in use, the more “positive“ the feel is on the brake lever.

We offer rotors from Galfer and EBC Brakes. Both companies produce high performance rotors at low prices. EBC brakes’ motorcycle rear brake rotors are circular in design and cross-drilled. You can choose between the standard model made of billet steel or the contoured model manufactured from stainless steel. Galfer offers a wave shape in both a floating and standard design. The floating rear wave rotor is available only for Suzuki GSXR and SV models. The concept behind floating motorcycle rear brake rotors is to maintain consistent contact between the brake pad and rotor while allowing for heavy rear brake application without fading or warping (i.e. maximum performance with minimal wear and tear). The non-floating rear wave rotors Galfer offers for the other bike brands are forged from a high-carbon 420 stainless steel and double ground to ensure “perfect flatness.“

All of our motorcycle rear brake rotors qualify for free US ground shipping in the continental United States. The same goes for any purchase over $85.00 USD (again in the lower 48 states).
