Anyone have knowledge of how these work?. I am considering this over a dual setup. About 1/3 the total cost and easier to set up. I need to know if they actually work. If installed did you feel the braking improved?. I do okay around town, but once I get to the hills I notice a ton of fade. Hoping this will address that.

 

It looks interesting. The additional swept area should go a long way... And the price is right. Thinking about it as well.

 

No one has tried this?

 

I have one, been waiting on new wheel to bolt it up.

 

PM user here b2inUT. He just put one on his Dyna, said the grab is nice and quick but hasn't had enough time (when he posted a couple weeks ago) on it to really tell.

 

OP, if you do reach out to the member who installed it, let us know as I'm curious as well. Like I said, seems like a cheap upgrade if it does what it says.

 

Seams... almost... too good

 

It does. But I still ordered it. Lol. Once it comes in I'll post a review.

 

it comes plain, the photo showed it in black, but it does not come that way. I taped it all off and shot some epoxy spray on it.

 

I'm going to order one for my Sportster.

The 30% claim comes by virtue of the 30% increase in surface area per revolutuion. A 15" rotor simply has much more braking surface per each revolution of the wheel. Under non-race conditions, your brakes will stop you in a much shorter distance.

30% could be accurate, but a few things could affect the efficiency.

The greater surface area per revolution will heat your brakes much quicker. An upgraded set of pads will help. If you ride really hard, or live in the mountains, be aware of the quicker heat-up. It's probably not enough to be noticeable unless you're on a race track pushing really hard.

The other thing is the distance from the axle to the braking surface. The greater distance from the larger diameter puts additional stress on the hub, fastener joints and webbing between the braking surface and center. Again, I doubt you could overwhelm this system in aggressive road riding.

For me, the benefits far exceed the risks.
