SHIMANO Disc Brake Rotor SM-RT56 6-bolt 180 mm

Shimano SM-RT56 6-Bolt 180 mm is a disc brake rotor designed for bicycles with a 6-bolt mounting system and resin brake pads.

Main Features

Construction and Design
The rotor has a 180 mm diameter, providing more braking power than smaller 160 mm rotors. The 6-bolt mounting design is widely used on MTB, trekking, gravel and hybrid bicycles.

Key Functions
Shimano SM-RT56 provides consistent braking in different riding conditions. The rotor shape is designed for use with resin brake pads, helping maintain quiet and smooth brake performance.

Use and Compatibility
The rotor is made for hubs with a standard 6-bolt disc mounting interface. It must be used only with resin brake pads and is not suitable for metal pads, as metal pads can damage the rotor surface more quickly.

Additional Features
Anti-loosening tightening plates are used with the mounting bolts to help keep the rotor securely installed. The 180 mm size is especially useful on the front wheel or on bicycles that need stronger braking for hilly terrain or heavier loads.

Summary
Shimano SM-RT56 6-Bolt 180 mm is intended for cyclists who need a reliable disc brake rotor for everyday, MTB, trekking or hybrid bike use. It is best suited for bicycles with 6-bolt hubs and resin pads where stable braking, simple installation and compatibility with Shimano disc brake systems are important.
