TRP RC04M Centerlock Disc Rotor 160 mm × 1.8 mm
The TRP Centerlock Disc Rotor 160 mm × 1.8 mm is a two-piece TRP brake rotor with an alloy spider for centerlock hubs – no rotor bolts, quick to fit, and matched to TRP and Tektro 1.8 mm calipers on road, gravel and touring bikes.
Why this TRP centerlock rotor?
Centerlock mount. The rotor slides onto the hub's splines and is held by one lockring, so there are no six small bolts to tighten evenly. 
Two-piece construction. The braking ring is carried on a separate alloy spider, a design used on performance rotors. 
1.8 mm braking surface. The thickness TRP and Tektro specify for their road, gravel and many flat-bar calipers. 
160 mm diameter. A balanced size for road, gravel and touring bikes.
What it is for
Fitting a 160 mm rotor to a wheel with a centerlock hub, replacing a worn, bent or contaminated rotor on a bike with 1.8 mm-rotor brakes, or building a new wheel where quick rotor fitting and removal matter.
Rotor mounts: 1 – centerlock, 2 – six-bolt. This rotor uses the centerlock mount (1).
Who is it for?
- Riders with centerlock hubs. A TRP rotor in the common 160 mm size.
- Owners of TRP or Tektro brakes made for 1.8 mm rotors. Such as TRP Hywire, Hylex or Hywave.
- Touring riders and commuters. Who change wheels or travel with the bike: a centerlock rotor comes off and goes back on in a minute with one tool.
- Riders whose brake has started to squeal or lose bite. After many kilometres, a new rotor with new pads brings the brake back.

Frequently asked questions
Can I fit this TRP centerlock rotor to a 6-bolt hub?
Not directly. Centerlock rotors need a centerlock hub. For a 6-bolt hub, choose a 6-bolt rotor.
Which lockring do I need?
That depends on your hub and axle: thru-axle hubs usually take an internal-spline lockring, quick-release hubs an external-spline one. If your wheel already has a centerlock rotor, you can reuse its lockring.
Does it work with my brake?
It fits calipers specified for 1.8 mm thick rotors, adjusted or adapted for a 160 mm rotor. If you are unsure, send us your brake model and we will check it.
