Why we love it
We love a rotor built for one job, cutting drag when you are flat out.
- 01The carbon body is redesigned from the SteelCarbon 3 and shaped in the wind tunnel to slip through the air at speed.
- 02It keeps the same 1.8mm steel braking track, so you stop just as well as you would on the SteelCarbon 3.
- 03It is light in its own right, and it trades some weight against the SteelCarbon 3 for that aerodynamic shape.
- 04It shares the race pedigree of the SteelCarbon 3, developed with the UAE Team Emirates World Tour team and proven at the Giro d'Italia.

What's included
- One Carbon-Ti X-Rotor Aero 6-Bolt rotor
Will it fit your bike?
Compatible with
- Hubs with the 6-bolt disc mount, on road, time trial, and triathlon bikes
- Rotor sizes 140mm and 160mm, so you can match the size your bike is built for
Not compatible with
- Center Lock hubs on their own (add the Carbon-Ti X-Rotor Center Lock Adapter Kit, sold separately, or choose the Carbon-Ti X-Rotor Aero Center Lock)
- Campagnolo and Fulcrum wheels built for the AFS disc mount (choose the Carbon-Ti X-Rotor Aero X-AFS instead)
- A rotor size your brake calipers are not set up for, without the correct caliper adapter
Confirm before ordering
Two things decide fit: the mount and the size. Your hubs need the 6-bolt disc mount, and the rotor size you select must match what your frame, fork, and brake calipers are built for.
Moving to a bigger or smaller rotor can need a different caliper mount adapter.
To fit this 6-bolt rotor to a Center Lock hub instead, add the Carbon-Ti X-Rotor Center Lock Adapter Kit, sold separately. If you are buying for a Center Lock hub, the Carbon-Ti X-Rotor Aero Center Lock is the simpler choice.
Questions
What rotor size should I choose?
Match the size your frame, fork, and brake calipers are built for, usually 140mm or 160mm. Moving to a different size can need a different caliper mount adapter, so check your setup or ask your mechanic.
Do these come with mounting bolts?
No. This 6-bolt rotor ships without bolts. Most disc rotor bolts fit it, and the Carbon-Ti X-Rotor Titanium Bolt Kit is the matched titanium set for one wheel, sold separately.
Is the Aero heavier than the SteelCarbon 3?
Yes. The aerodynamic carbon body adds some weight, which the Aero trades for lower drag at speed. Braking is the same, since the steel track is shared.
Can I use these on a Center Lock hub?
Yes, with the Carbon-Ti X-Rotor Center Lock Adapter Kit, sold separately. It lets a 6-bolt rotor mount on a Center Lock hub, and its low-profile lockring suits hubs built for 12, 15, or 20mm thru-axles. If your hubs are already Center Lock, the Carbon-Ti X-Rotor Aero Center Lock is the simpler choice.
Are these UCI approved?
Yes, they comply with UCI regulations. The disc profile has rounded, CNC-machined edges.
Will these fit Campagnolo or Fulcrum wheels?
Yes, if they use the standard 6-bolt mount. Campagnolo and Fulcrum wheels built for the AFS disc mount are the exception: those need a rotor made for AFS, and this one is not. For an AFS wheel, choose the Carbon-Ti X-Rotor Aero X-AFS. If you are not sure which disc mount your wheels use, check their specification before ordering.
