Reliable everyday braking

The SM-RT56 delivers the steady, controllable braking Deore is known for. The one-piece stainless steel rotor sheds heat well and holds its shape under repeated heavy braking, helping keep your stopping feel consistent ride after ride.

Built for resin pads

This rotor is designed for use with resin (organic) brake pads only. Pairing it with the correct pad compound keeps braking quiet and protects the rotor surface from the accelerated wear that metal pads would cause.

Easy, secure fitment

A six-bolt mounting pattern and Shimano's tightening plate construction make installation straightforward, and the included fixing bolts and non-turn washers mean you have what you need to mount it to a standard 6-bolt hub.

Compatibility & fit

160mm rotor with a standard 6-bolt mounting interface for 6-bolt disc hubs. Resin (organic) pads only - do not pair with metal/sintered pads, as this will damage the rotor. Suits Shimano and other disc brake systems that accept 160mm 6-bolt rotors. Always confirm your frame, fork and caliper are rated for a 160mm rotor.
