The SRAM CenterLine CenterLock Rotor has been designed specifically to produce a smooth and consistent braking over the entire rotation of the braking tract. Careful placement of the cutouts effectively vents off gas generated when braking and keeps the braking surface cooler; the shape of the openings also clears debris from the brake pads for more consistent, powerful, and quiet operation. Finally, UCI-compliant rounded edges make it safer to handle the wheels and also reduces hang ups as the wheels are installed on the bike.
