SRAM HS2 Disc Brake Rotor - 200mm, 6-Bolt, Rounded vs Shimano RT-CL900 Rotor Centerlock 160mm Silver
Overall winner: SRAM HS2 Disc Brake Rotor - 200mm, 6-Bolt, Rounded
Key Differences
SRAM HS2 (200mm, 6-bolt) is positioned as a more affordable, larger-diameter rotor with reported improved pad traction, enhanced heat dissipation (some mixed feedback), and noise reduction—good for riders wanting strong stopping power and a traditional 6-bolt fit. Shimano RT-CL900 (Centerlock, 160mm) targets road-level compatibility with DURA-ACE R9200, uses dual-material steel/aluminum construction for weight and stiffness benefits, and uses Centerlock attachment for hubs that support it
