Shimano SM-RT64-S - 160mm | Center Lock
What Is the Shimano SM-RT64-S and Who Is It For?
The SM-RT64-S is a Shimano stainless steel center-lock disc brake rotor in the 160mm size, designed as a reliable all-conditions rotor for mid-range Shimano hydraulic disc brake systems. The rotor uses a single-material stainless steel construction, offering a combination of durability and consistent braking performance across wet and dry conditions without the added cost or weight of the layered Ice Technologies aluminum-core design. The center-lock mounting interface uses Shimano's spline and lockring system for secure rotor retention with tool-free cassette-style installation and removal using a standard cassette lockring tool. This makes wheel changes and rotor service faster than the 6-bolt interface while maintaining precise centering between the rotor and caliper.
The SM-RT64-S is compatible with Shimano Deore, SLX, and other mid-range hydraulic disc brake calipers, as well as any hydraulic disc caliper accepting 160mm center-lock rotors. The 160mm diameter is the standard rear rotor size for trail MTB and road disc builds, and also serves as a front rotor for XC race setups where a lighter, smaller-diameter front rotor is appropriate. For riders who need a solid-performing, straightforward stainless center-lock disc rotor at 160mm for mid-range Shimano disc brake systems, the SM-RT64-S delivers dependable stopping performance without the premium of a layered construction.
