New hayes rotors

[Mommers]

Ive seen the new hayes rotors, forget the name of them I like the look of them and want a set for my bike .

Anyone know prices (for 6" set) and where they can get them, I'm presuiming Dirtworks :?

Thanks.

well the old hayes rotors (i havnt seen the new 1's) were 100 buxs and end so that could be a guess of a price.

Try $60 for a 6" one and $80 for an 8" one... I imagine the new ones would be about the same.

these?

Depends on the shops markup socket. Retail for an 8" rotor is 89 I believe but most shops add a little more than dirtworks recommend. $100 is not uncommon, especially in remote locations where dw charge highly for postage.

what is the advantage of the scalloped edge?

what is the advantage of the scalloped edge?

well after extensive R&D it was found that the scalloped edge vastly improves breaking performance mainly by an increase in effective surface area of the outer diameter edge of the rotor, increasing the exposed area to the oncoming windflow reduced the heat of the rotor by 200% Ontop of this the disturbance created by the scalloped profile was wind tunnel tested and refined to create vorticies that created a vacuum around the caliper thus sucking heat from it as well as improving general aerodynamics.
Further More this the profile cleans the pads as the edge scrapes through...




Or it may just look good?

Those 2 are the main reasons... I think there's a bit of legal hoo-hah over wavy rotors, anyone know what's happened there?
