The SRAM Centerline Centerlock 160mm brake rotor represents excellence in versatile braking for road bikes and MTB. Designed to deliver consistent, quiet and high-performance braking, this 1.85 mm thick stainless steel rotor stands out for its ability to maintain a uniform friction center throughout rotation, minimizing vibrations and ensuring perfect modulation. Supplied with its internal tooled Centerlock lockring, it is the ideal solution for equipping your road or gravel wheels.

Technical overview and design

The SRAM Centerline is based on a one-piece stainless steel construction emphasizing durability and braking consistency. The ventilation cutout design has been meticulously studied to evacuate gases generated during braking, keep the braking surface cooler and eliminate debris from the pads. This design ensures consistent, powerful and quiet performance in all conditions, whether on pavement or trails.

Technical highlights

• Consistent friction center: The optimized positioning of the braking track minimizes vibrations and ensures smooth rotation, for progressive and modulable braking.
• UCI-compliant rounded edges: Facilitate wheel installation and removal while reducing injury risks during handling — a valuable safety feature in racing or workshop.
• Universal compatibility: Works with all SRAM pad compounds and integrates with both road brakes and MTB systems.
• Standardized 1.85 mm thickness: SRAM road and MTB standard, compatible with all current hydraulic calipers from the brand.
• Lightweight construction: Despite its steel robustness, the rotor displays a controlled weight of 155 to 160 grams for the 160 mm version.

Centerlock mounting and simplified installation

This rotor adopts the Centerlock standard, which ensures quick and precise installation on splined hubs. The internal tooled lockring is included and allows secure attachment compatible with quick release (QR) axles and 12 mm thru-axles. Installation requires only a suitable Centerlock tool, offering notable time savings compared to traditional 6-bolt systems.
