Lightweight 2-Piece Construction
The GiroDisc rear rotor assembly utilises a lightweight two-piece design consisting of:
- High-carbon iron rotor rings
- CNC-machined 6061-T6 aluminium hats
- High-strength floating hardware
This advanced construction helps reduce:
- Unsprung weight
- Rotational inertia
Resulting in improved suspension response, sharper vehicle dynamics and enhanced braking performance.
Advanced Cooling Performance
Each rear rotor incorporates 48 curved internal vanes, engineered to function as a centrifugal air pump.
This design:
- Draws cool air through the hub
- Increases airflow through the disc
- Reduces operating temperatures
- Improves thermal recovery between braking events
Benefits include:
- Improved resistance to brake fade
- Enhanced braking consistency
- Better heat dissipation during track use
- Increased rotor longevity
Proprietary High-Carbon Iron Rotor Rings
The rotor rings are machined from GiroDisc's own high-carbon iron casting, developed specifically for performance and motorsport applications.
Advantages include:
- Exceptional thermal stability
- Increased crack resistance
- Improved durability under heavy braking
- Longer service life
- Consistent braking performance
This superior metallurgy helps the rotors withstand repeated heat cycles often encountered during track days and spirited driving.
Fully Floating Motorsport Hardware
Each rotor assembly features GiroDisc's race-proven floating system, incorporating:
- High-strength steel drive pins
- Belleville washers
- Spring clips
- Controlled rotor float
This design allows the rotor ring to expand and contract naturally under extreme temperatures while maintaining precise braking feel.
The result is:
- Reduced thermal stress
- Improved durability
- Consistent pedal feedback
- Street-friendly operation without excessive noise
Serviceable Rotor Design
Unlike many conventional brake discs, GiroDisc's two-piece design allows the aluminium hats to be reused when the rotor rings reach the end of their service life.
Replacement ring part number:
- D2-282
This significantly reduces long-term running costs while maintaining the benefits of a premium motorsport braking system.
GiroDisc recommends replacing the rotor rings when:
- Rotor thickness reaches 22mm
- A crack extends to the outer edge of the rotor ring

Construction includes:
- 6061-T6 aluminium hats
- Black anodised finish
- High-strength steel drive pins
- Corrosion-resistant cadmium plating
- Precision-machined rotor rings
This attention to detail ensures exceptional quality, durability and performance.
