brake discs

Post by budd »

I may sound a stupid question but what are the benefits of stainless steel v cast iron when choosing brake discs?? And which material is used for OE??
I've now gone all European and bought a KTM Superduke GT and Aprilia RSV1000R :D ,
Storm is now gone :cry: .

cast iron offer better grip but rust like buggery.

Some "stainless" discs are cast iron with a coating which prevents rusting.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.
