Feature Comparison - One-piece Rotors
| Features | Competition | RB Rotors | Benefits |
| Design | Duplicate from OE sample for aftermarket replacement. | 3D modeling assures dimensional accuracy with improved, patented designs for optimum performance. | - Reinforced ribs reduce warpage. - Convergent vane keeps disc cooler. - Open slots vent gas and debris w/o buildup. |
| Material | Standard aftermarket replacement. | Casting based on performance formula. | Increased longevity and higher resistance to warping. |
| Machining | Modified from shelf stock. | Rotors are machined with tight tolerances in parallelism, thickness variation and run out. Cross drilling and slotting are part of the production process. | RB rotors have total performance integrity - from design to finish. |
| Dynamic Balancing | May or may not be done. Cross-drilling is often done after the balancing step, which may result in an imbalanced rotor. | 100% checked and corrected as needed for all ventilated rotors. | To assure pulsation free pedal feel. |
| Surface Coating | Cadmium, Zinc plating or None. | ElectroDeposition Paint (EDP) | EDP offers better resistance to corrosion with uniform surface coverage on both edges and recesses (inside vanes). Better appearance and more environmental friendly. |
| Friction Surface Finish | Plating is the final step. Friction surface remains plated. | Final process cross cut grinding, which is performed after surface coating. | Tightest tolerance is assured by correcting any possible distortion during surface treatment. Aids in pad break-in. |
| Quality Assurance | May or may not have QA procedures. | Our company name, part number, minimum thickness, lot number, and or production date code are imprinted. | Symbol of quality, identification, and traceability. |
Feature Comparison - Two-piece Rotor (Center-mount)
| Features | Competition | RacingBrake | Benefit |
| Vane configuration | Traditional curve | Convergent curve (Learn more...) | Circulate air more efficiently for better cooling |
| Air inlet | Inboard only | Both inboard and outboard | Much cooler disc |
| Disc to hat mount | On surface | On center | Balanced stress load |
| Rotation direction | Directional (left or right) | Uni-directional (left & right) | Installer friendly and less inventory |
| Disc Material | Standard G3000 material - 30,000 psi of tensile strength. | G3500 racing formula (35,000 psi of tensile strength) and heat treated | More resistant to wear and warpage |
| Finish | Drill or slot | Slotted, Drilled&Slotted, or Open slot available (Learn more...) | Open slots improve cooling, prevent cracking, and vent gas and debris without build up |
| Surface coating | Bare or zinc plating | EDP coating | EDP offers better resistance to corrosion with uniform surface coverage on both edges and recesses (inside vanes). Better appearance and more environmental friendly. |
| Rotor hat | Cut from billet | Forged aluminum alloy | Provides better strength & stiffness |
| Fastener/hardware | Use washer and glue | Use self-locking nuts (Learn more...) | Positive locking w/o annoying rattling. No threadlocker. Easy to assemble and remove. |
| Warranty | N/A | 6 month | Protection against cracking or warpage (read more) |
Curved Vane
The following applications are upgraded to curved (directional vanes) from OE straight vane to improve air flow and therefore make the rotor run much cooler.
