Construction & Design

The GD Sport rotors feature a robust cast iron construction with precision-machined slots and dimples that promote efficient heat transfer and gas venting. The wide aperture slots are strategically placed to maximize airflow around the rotor surface, helping to keep temperatures lower during intense braking. The dimple drilling technique not only enhances the rotor's strength by reducing stress concentrations but also contributes to a more uniform wear pattern. The black thermic coating provides an extra layer of protection against corrosion and adds a sleek, aggressive look to your vehicle's wheels.
