Shimano SM-RT26 6-Bolt 160 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 160 mm diameter, making it suitable for everyday, trekking, MTB, gravel and hybrid bike use. The 6-bolt mounting design is simple, widely used and compatible with standard 6-bolt hubs.
Key Functions
Shimano SM-RT26 provides smooth and predictable braking in regular riding conditions. The rotor is designed for use with resin brake pads, which help maintain quieter brake operation and a smoother braking feel.
Use and Compatibility
The rotor is made for hubs with a 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 wear the braking surface more quickly.
Additional Features
The 160 mm size is often used on the rear wheel or as a lighter front brake setup when the extra braking power of a 180 mm rotor is not needed. The rotor is suitable as a replacement part when the old disc is worn or when refreshing a disc brake system.
Summary
Shimano SM-RT26 6-Bolt 160 mm is intended for cyclists who need a reliable and easy-to-install disc brake rotor for everyday use. It is best suited for city, trekking, MTB, gravel and hybrid bikes with 6-bolt hubs and resin brake pads.
