Shimano RT-CL700 Ice Tech Rotor

Shimano’s RT-CL700 Ice Tech Rotor delivers consistent braking performance through advanced heat control, long pad life, and a reliable Centre Lock fit. Its layered steel and alloy construction disperses heat efficiently, while the refined rotor surface improves pad contact and cooling.

Key Features and Benefits:

• Clad steel–aluminium–steel rotor construction: The rotor’s layered build pulls heat away from the braking surface into the aluminium core. This helps lower surface temperatures by around 50°C, reducing thermal stress and supporting consistent braking under load.
• Ice Tech heat management system: When used with Ice Tech pads, rotor temperatures drop from about 400°C to 300°C. This results in less fade, better brake control, and improved performance on long descents or under repeated braking.
• Refined rotor surface: The contact surface clears debris and improves airflow around the pads. This helps maintain braking efficiency, lowers pad wear, and ensures quieter operation in wet and dry conditions.
• Shimano Centre Lock mounting with included lockring: The system uses a spline mount and lockring to secure the rotor. This setup offers strong rigidity and a fast, secure installation process for both internal and external lockring options.

The RT-CL700 is designed to maintain braking stability in high-heat situations where fade can limit control. Its construction and pad interface work together to prolong pad life, reduce noise, and ensure reliable performance under pressure. This makes it a practical choice for riders who demand lasting braking consistency across variable terrain and conditions.

Upgrade your braking system with a rotor built for controlled heat dissipation, quiet performance, and long-term pad efficiency—all with simple and secure setup.
