Designed for reliable, consistent stopping power, it extends brake pad life and fits a wide range of bicycles, making it a top choice for serious riders seeking performance and durability. ## Description Shimano's XT Brake Rotor, the SM-RT86, sets itself apart from Shimano's lower-tier offerings through its use of an aluminum core to transfer heat away from the brake caliper. This, combined with the finned heat sinks in Shimano's XT and XTR-level brake pads, combats heat-related brake fade. We appreciate this construction because it translates to consistent, reliable braking even on long descents. Review: Fits perfectly. - I have a heavy E-bike (Tesway X7-Pro), and I also tow a cargo trailer with it. So I decided it would be a good idea to upgrade the stock 180mm rotors with 203mm rotors. I got this rotor, the XT SM-RT86 for the back rotor of my bike, and it fits perfectly and looks GREAT. I went with the XTR version of this for the front rotor. (Honestly, you can hardly tell the difference). Of course, I had to replace the front and rear caliper brackets with 203-mm capable units, which added a bit of cost, but not much (around $20 for both). In all, I'm super happy with this rotor slowing down the back half of my bike. It's definite improvement over the 180's, even on 2-piston calipers. And combined with the XTR on the front wheel, the braking performance has GREATLY improved. 5 stars. Review: Perfect fit - Purchased a pair of these to put on a second wheelset for my Cannondale Quick CX 1. They're a different model than the discs on the original wheelset but they worked perfectly. Definitely worth having them so I don't have to swap the discs every time I swap the wheels. ## Features - 160mm 6 bolt Ice tec rotor - Aluminum core construction - Lowers operating temperature - Resists power fade - Increases pad life ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B008ZTLJEY | | Best Sellers Rank | #33,081 in Sports & Outdoors ( See Top 100 in Sports & Outdoors ) #10 in Bike Brake Rotors | | Brand | SHIMANO | | Brand Name | SHIMANO | | Compatible with Vehicle Type | Bicycle | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 1,493 Reviews | | Exterior Finish | Stainless Steel | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00689228744677 | | Item Type Name | Ice Tech Brake Rotor | | Item Weight | 7.2 ounces | | Manufacturer | Shimano | | Manufacturer Part Number | ISMRT86S2 | | Material | Aluminum | | Material Type | Aluminum | | Model Number | ISMRT86S2 | | Number of Items | 1 | | UPC | 689228744677 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Vehicle Service Type | Bicycle | ## Product Details - **Brand:** SHIMANO - **Exterior Finish:** Stainless Steel - **Global Trade Identification Number:** 00689228744677 - **Manufacturer:** Shimano - **Material:** Aluminum - **Number of Items:** 1 - **UPC:** 689228744677 - **Vehicle Service Type:** Bicycle ## Images ![Shimano Ice Tech Brake Rotor, Silver, 160mm - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71KdgqIh9zL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Anyone have CONSTANT problems with Ice Tech brakes with SCREECHING and loss of braking power???? PLEASE HELP!!!!!!** A: it sounds (no pun intended) like you either did not break-in the brakes or have gotten them contaminated with a substance (oil, soap, etc.). you could sand the rotors and pads a bit to try and remove that and then clean with rubbing alcohol. Then google how to “bed in” the brakes. **Q: What is the difference between 160 and 180? My trek came stock with 160.** A: Obviously a diameter of the rotor, 180 front and 160 in the rear is the most common setup on trail and XC bike, also it depends on your wheel size. I would stick with 180f/160r unless you are riding a downhill bike. Happy riding **Q: Can i replace my current avid rotors on sram brakes with these ice tech ones?** A: I bought a used bike that had done that just make sure you use the correct brake pads for the rotor or they will wear unevenly. **Q: I need an adapter for my rear it's not on the frame any help?** A: In search box type: shimano, size of rotor, rear space bolt hole, hole mount distance of caliper for adapter. measure is mm metric ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fits perfectly. *by L***U on November 22, 2024* I have a heavy E-bike (Tesway X7-Pro), and I also tow a cargo trailer with it.

They're a different model than the discs on the original wheelset but they worked perfectly. Definitely worth having them so I don't have to swap the discs every time I swap the wheels. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Looking Rotor w/Awsome Stopping Performance *by S***E on February 20, 2020* Decided to upgrade my MTB & decided the brake systems was a good place to start. I upgraded from V-brakes to discs. I purchased a pair of 180mm SHIMANO XT SM-RT86 Rotors, pair of Shimano M375 calipers, a Shimano SM-MA90 post to post adapter (front), a Shimano SM-MA-R180 IS to post adapter (rear) & new cables. This setup works awesome, strong breaking, even when wet (much better than wet V-brakes). These SHIMANO XT SM-RT86 Rotors did not come in the Shimano packaging, nor did they come w/any installation instructions. They did come w/mounting bolts (w/pre applied thread locker & tightening plates (see pic). From what I can tell from the branding, fit & finish, I believe these are OEM parts. I am fine w/that, it saves me money w/out sacrificing quality, especially w/something as important as stopping. According to Shimano’s website, the weights for their XT SM-RT86 rotors are as follows: 160mm-131g | 180mm-152g | 203mm-187g. The lighter weight is due to an aluminum core sandwiched between steel. This is also supposed to allow for quicker heat dissipation. What I know is that they work really well. If you’re in the market for disc rotors & your hubs are 6-bolt not center mount, I can confidently recommend Shimano CT SM-RT86 rotors. If you’re on the fence about upgrading your brakes to disc brakes, I’d say do it. Discs stop much better than V-brakes, they look great & if your thinking about upgrading your fork in the future, you’ll definitely have more options to choose from w/disc brakes than w/V-brakes. Thank you for taking the time to read my review. I hope you found it helpful. ## Frequently Bought Together - Shimano Ice Tech Brake Rotor, Silver, 160mm - Shimano SMMA90F203PPM - Bicycle Parts, 203mm P/PM - BUCKLOS PM/is Front Rear 180/203mm Disc Brake Caliper Mount Adapter Gear Parts Accessories, CNC Machined Aluminum Alloy Rotor Adapter with Bolts --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.no/products/1483725-shimano-ice-tech-brake-rotor-silver-160mm](https://www.desertcart.no/products/1483725-shimano-ice-tech-brake-rotor-silver-160mm) --- *Product available on Desertcart Norway* *Store origin: NO* *Last updated: 2026-09-18*
