Provides good braking, but not the lightest

The Shimano Ice-Tech rotors brake well with the organic brake pads that I've paired up with them.

Switching over to the Ice Tech rotors made such a difference in my braking on the trail. I do a lot of DH shuttle runs and nothing puts brakes to the test like sustained dh tech. My previous Avids wouldn't dissipate heat that well giving me brake fade accompanied by loud squeals. With the ice techs I've yet to get brake fade, giving me strong stopping power thru ought the day with no noise! Fantastic upgrade!!

It does exactly what a disc rotor should, stop your bike. Ice tech seems to work well too.

The Ice rotors install quickly, and have worked perfectly, no overheating means no dying rabbit squeal.

These are good looking rotors! I love how strong they are. I upgraded to a shimano brake system after my Level TLs from the other guys failed me a hot day. These rotors are nice and stiff and Ive never had a problem with them.

You have the low end through the high end. These rotors hit the upper middle good enough for experienced riders without totally breaking the bank. I am an expert rider on a budget and I went with these. 203 front and 180 rear on single piston xts on my AM bike.

I am a big fan of Shimano disc brakes and bought this to convert my final bike to Shimano hydraulics. They can handle the cold, heat, wet, and mud. If you take normal care to keep the piston clean (q-tip with alcohol), they will work flawlessly for a long, long time.

Replaced my original rotors on my Specialized Sirrus Carbon Comp. Easy to follow installation though required some adjustment to the brake pads. Seem to grip better and noisefree.

These do not overheat, do not make noise, stay true, and wear well. You can't buy a better rotor (or a better pair of brakes, for that matter). These are worth the extra money.

It's tough to give a qualified and fair review this as I've not ridden other discs but these. They feel solid and brake well in the time I've ridden them. The reason why I purchased them is because of all the other reviews claiming how great a job these discs do.
