First Rides Review: New thinner, lighter Galfer XC Shark 160mm mountain bike rotors can save grams without sacrificing braking power...
New 160mm XC Galfer Shark disc brake rotors bring gravity-inspired brake performance down to shorter travel bikes, too. With the same design featuring heat-dissipating fins, the new smaller-diameter Shark rotors promise more consistent brake performance for cross-country, marathon, and downcountry bikes now, as well as potential weight savings.
Galfer claims a weight of just 104g per rotor, although our test rotors both weighed in a tad heavier at 106g a piece.Galfer sold us on the idea of the new 160mm rotors, as offering better performance compared to other 160mm rotors. Together with their brake pads, Galfer says their Shark rotors deliver higher friction for 5-10% more brake power, an 8% reduction in pressure required at the brake lever to get max power, and a 30% reduction in rotor temperature .
