For brake disc brand it’s all over the place out there. The EBC stuff is good but we have warped a few discs on XR650R’s in Safari, always had to have spares. In the old days when Braking first made a non floating front disc for the XR600 it would not last one club day without warping.
The floating discs are much better.
3 years ago i got 2 sample KX450 270mm floating discs and caliper brackets out of China. Look like a Batfly. Cost about $25 each. Slotted wave floating. Looked OK. Asked the guy i was sponsoring in Pro Open at the time to run them on his practice bike to get some idea of the quality. He said “No fkn way am i using that chinese s%*t on my bike” and he bought a Braking Batfly for $400 (my cost). Never again will i tell a tester what a product sample costs. If they ask it’s from Austria, made by a Duval Monk and costs $5000.
Well the discs sat around i forgot about them. Gave them away a year or so ago. Then this year i see them again, in the JTR catalog, in nice RHK packaging. Same parts as I had. I called the guy i gave my disc to, he was still using it, really liked it.
So all that is cheap is not junk.cheers for the input mate !
it definatly seems to be a trial and error when it comes to brake rotors and seeing what suits, i got my eye on a set of rotors … and yes the front is 270mm
