The GALFER SHARK ROAD CENTRE-LOCK ROTOR brings cutting-edge braking performance directly to road and gravel cyclists seeking consistent stopping power. Engineered with Galfer's signature internal shark fins, this lightweight rotor dramatically reduces operating temperatures during intense descents to eliminate brake fade.
Co-developed and race-tested alongside professional WorldTour cyclists, the rotor features a two-piece design combining a high-strength CNC-machined 7075-T6 aluminium core with a hardened stainless steel braking surface. The iconic Wave outer profile maximizes pad contact and cleans debris, ensuring smooth modulation and predictable lever feel regardless of weather conditions.
Built specifically for Centre-Lock hub splines, it delivers superior lateral stiffness to maintain pad alignment under hard loads. Whether navigating steep alpine passes on asphalt or tackling loose gravel downhills, this rotor provides a perfect balance of low rotational weight, high durability, and uncompromising heat dissipation.
Shark Fin Cooling Technology: Integrated inner fins aggressively evacuate thermal energy to maintain consistent lever feel on prolonged descents.
Wave-Shaped Track: Outer perimeter geometry increases bite, clears pad residue, and ensures progressive braking control.
Two-Piece Construction: Pairs a rigid CNC-machined 7075-T6 aluminium spider with a high-carbon hardened steel friction ring via 8mm hollow rivets.
Applications: Road, Gravel, Cyclocross
Mounting Interface: Centre-Lock System

Available Diameters: 140mm, 160mm
Claimed Weights: 140mm (approx. 91g), 160mm (approx. 102g)
Country of Manufacture: Spain
✅ Alpine & Heavy Descents: Excellent thermal management prevents heat buildup and lever squish on steep mountain descents.
✅ Weight & Stiffness Focused: The 7075-T6 aluminium core minimizes overall rotational weight while maintaining high torsional rigidity.
✅ Progressive Modulation: The Wave profile offers precise lever feedback and smooth stopping power without sudden grab.
❌ Standard 6-Bolt Hubs: Requires a Centre-Lock hub setup (or a compatible adapter) for installation. ❌ Fulcrum AFS Compatibility: May not be compatible with certain proprietary lockring designs like Fulcrum AFS.
❌ Casual Flat Rides: Feature-rich cooling technology comes at a premium price point if you rarely ride long downhills.
