Pros: Attractive, Durable, Good Fit, High Quality, Versatile
Cons: could be a bit lighter
"if you want a well made rotor that run true out of the box and stays true even after some very steep hills and a lot of heat build up then this is for you
i fitted them to a set of avid juicy ultimate brakes with no problems so i for one would recommend these rotors to anyone who need to replace there old ones or just likes a bit of bling on there wheels

I'll never use anything else. Smitten!
Pros: Great Value, High Quality, Lightweight
"These rotors were replacements for standrard avid ones.
I've probably ridden about 150-200 miles with these and they are excellent!
I use standard pads and they have been 'grabby' from day one.
No fade at all.
I will never use any other type apart from these.
They cost a few pounds more than boring ones but the quality is excellent.
I bought the red rotors to go on my Mavic SLRs with red hubs and they look the awesome.
Smitten!
Buy them and try!!

Nice bit of bling to stop you with
Pros: Attractive, Durable, High Quality, Lightweight
Cons: Expensive
"I'm sure there's real performance reasons why you need one of these (well, there are, of course - you can read the description up there ^^) but the real reason you want one of these is that they look so nice... I mean, you could just fit a standard round rotor and save a few quid, but....
The saw tooth is pretty attractive on its own, then add in the coloured carrier and it's as good looking as a disc rotor can get. They're easy to fit, there's no weight penalty and they do certainly stop you well. Very nice."

Hope Floating Rotor 160mm
Pros: Attractive, Great Value, High Quality, Lightweight
Cons: Poor Fit
"I replaced my wife's XTR rotors with these Hope floaters, 160mm, very happy with the outcome. She purchased new wheels that were not centerlock, and needed new rotors. These here Hopes sure are good looking.
With the rotor mounted to a Chris King ISO hub, front and rear, I did have a very slight bit of rubbing where the rivets passed by the upper post mount on Fox RLC 140 fork, and in the rear actually rubbed the caliper slightly, very slightly. Nothing a little dremel tool could not fix.
It may not be as soggy here in the Pacific NW of the USA, as it is in GB but it sure rains a lot. These rotors have been very quiest when paired up with some EBC pads and Shimano M965 & M966 calipers."

Great Rotors
Pros: Attractive, High Quality, Lightweight, Rugged
Cons: Expensive
"I first purchased these rotors as replacements for my Avid Juicy Carbon brakes. These gave heaps more stopping power so I now use them on all of my XC bikes.
You may need to look out for spacing against your fork as the central spider on the 180/183mm rotors is a bit thicker than the rotor braking surface. I had to space my hub with a 2-3mm washer to stop it hitting - usually not a hard job for your LBS to do (depending on your hub of course).

fantastic product
Pros: Durable, Attractive, High Quality, Lightweight
"I bought to match new evo X2 brakes - great combination. I am very pleased with it and certainly blinds up a bit of the bike which is usually pretty non descript."

A bit disappointing
Cons: doesn't float
"I was a bit disappointed with this product, as while it is an excellent brake disc, looks great and greatly increases the stopping power of you bike's brake system, it doesn't ACTUALLY float; nor does it make your bike float.
I discovered this failing on a ride near the river last weekend...

Very Nice Rotor
"Got a pair with red spiders and definitely adds a bit of snazz to the bike.
They work well, decent Hope quality. Floating rotors make a lovely "ting" noise as they cool down too. Strangely satisfying for some reason!"

Cons: Expensive
"I bought these because they look good. They don't seem to work any better or worse than one piece rotors, but I don't brake much so I never get heat fade anyway."

Good for some brakes
Pros: Attractive, High Quality, Lightweight
Cons: Expensive, Poor Fit
"These seem to be very good rotors but did not get on well with my Magura Louise calipers. From the internet I have found that they should work with shimano and avid brakes and are now serving duty on my wifes bike fitted with tektro hydraulic brakes and are going strong."
