The TEKTRO 6 Bolt 160mm refers to a disc brake rotor commonly used on bicycles. It is characterized by its 160mm diameter and 6-bolt mounting pattern, which is a standard way to attach the rotor to the hub of the wheel23.
Here’s a breakdown of its features:
-
Diameter: 160mm is a common rotor size, offering a balance between stopping power and weight. Smaller rotors (like 140mm) are lighter but offer less stopping power, while larger rotors (like 180mm or 203mm) provide more stopping power but add weight.
-
Mounting: The 6-bolt pattern means the rotor attaches to the hub using six bolts. This is a widely used standard, ensuring compatibility with many bikes and hubs2.
-
Compatibility: Tektro rotors are generally compatible with all pad compounds1.
-
Heat Dissipation: Some Tektro rotors feature vented designs or wave-type designs to improve heat dissipation during braking. This helps maintain consistent braking performance and prolongs the life of the rotor and brake pads
