The Galfer Shark EVO brake rotor represents the ultimate evolution of MTB braking technology, designed to dominate the most demanding descents and deliver consistent performance even in extreme conditions. With its 223 mm diameter, this rotor delivers maximum braking power and unmatched fade resistance, ideal for intensive Enduro, DH and heavy E-MTBs. The Raw finish reveals the CNC machining marks of the 7075-T6 aerospace aluminum body, combining technical aesthetics with high-level performance.
Revolutionary technical architecture
- Evolved Shark Track braking surface: Design with multiple internal fins (Shark Fins) and high-density thermal perforations that drastically reduce operating temperature and eliminate fade during prolonged braking.
- Optimized 2-piece construction: Braking ring in high-carbon 420 stainless steel, laser-cut and double-side ground for perfect flatness, mounted on a CNC-machined 7075-T6 aluminum body through topological optimization.
- Optimized semi-rigid connection: 8 mm hollow aluminum rivets ensuring exceptional force transfer while absorbing vibrations, guaranteeing symmetrical pad wear.
- Superior heat dissipation: Increased number of fins and dissipation holes that maintain constant thermal stability on long, technical descents, protecting caliper seals.
Compatibility and versatility
- Universal 6-bolt mounting: Standard 44mm BCD attachment compatible with all modern MTB hubs, direct installation without adaptation.
- Total pad compatibility: Enlarged contact surface working with all types and sizes of brake pads, organic, metallic or semi-metallic.
- Native e-bike integration: Integrated speed sensor magnet hole, E-bike certification to support high loads and braking forces of electric bikes.
- Plug & play installation: Replaces original rotors without modifying the braking system, compatible with all brand calipers (Shimano, SRAM, Magura, Hayes, TRP…).
Galfer performance and durability
- Increased braking power: Optimized geometry allowing braking with less lever effort, even in fatigue conditions or on technical terrain.
- Stable and progressive behavior: Precise modulation and consistent bite point regardless of temperature, steep slopes, high speeds or heavy loads.
- Extended pad life: Efficient heat dissipation and symmetrical wear that increase pad longevity under normal usage conditions.
- Premium anti-corrosion treatment: Durable protection against oxidation, guaranteeing consistent performance in all weather conditions (mud, rain, salt).
- Certified Spanish manufacturing: Designed, machined and tested at the Galfer factory in Barcelona, benefiting from 70 years of expertise in high-performance braking systems and World Cup testing.
