More Details

Power, precision, and performance — the Shimano SM-RT64 disc brake rotor is built to deliver consistent and controlled braking across diverse terrain and conditions. Whether you're tackling steep trails, descending rugged fire roads, or commuting in the wet, this rotor ensures your bike stops exactly when and how you need it to. Part of Shimano’s trusted Deore lineup, the SM-RT64 offers advanced heat management, low maintenance, and compatibility with metal pads, making it a versatile choice for demanding riders.


⚙️ ENGINEERED FOR CONSISTENCY & CONTROL

At the heart of the SM-RT64’s performance is Shimano’s focus on reliable braking feel under stress. Designed to maintain strong braking power even in sustained descents or muddy environments, this rotor provides riders with crisp, linear control — no matter the weather or the trail condition.

Whether you're riding loaded on a touring setup, navigating enduro trails, or shredding technical XC loops, you’ll benefit from:

  • Predictable braking force in both dry and wet conditions

  • Reduced fade during prolonged descents

  • Stable modulation that’s easy to control


🔩 CENTER LOCK™ SYSTEM: EASY & SECURE INSTALLATION

The CENTER LOCK rotor interface uses a splined hub connection and lock ring for simple, tool-friendly installation. It offers faster and more secure rotor mounting compared to 6-bolt designs, reducing rotor wobble and ensuring consistent alignment with the brake caliper.

Advantages include:

  • Quick & clean rotor swaps — great for frequent travelers or racers

  • Precise centering to minimize pad rub

  • A tidy, professional look that aligns with Shimano’s premium ecosystem


🛠️ BUILT TO HANDLE METAL PADS

The SM-RT64 is fully compatible with metal and resin brake pads, giving riders more braking options depending on their ride style. For aggressive, all-weather riders, pairing this rotor with metal pads ensures:

  • Stronger initial bite

  • Longer pad life

  • Superior heat resistance

This makes the rotor ideal for mountain biking, trekking, e-bikes, and gravel disciplines where durability and braking power are critical.
