The Shimano Deore XT SM-RT86 6-Bolt Disc Rotor incorporates ICE cooling technology and a mud shedding rotor blade design to keep the rotor cooler and cleaner for optimal braking performance in all conditions. Shimano Deore XT rotors are constructed using ICE technology, a 3-layer structure design built with an aluminum core and two stainless steel outer layers to reduce rotor surface temperature approximately 100 degrees Celsius compared to all-steel rotors.
