FAQ

Is 140mm enough for road disc braking, or should I go 160mm?

For rear use, 140mm is the standard choice on road disc setups and is sufficient for the vast majority of road riding. The front caliper does the heavy braking work. Many riders run 160mm front and 140mm rear for a slight weight savings. Running 140mm front and rear is also common on flat-to-rolling terrain.

What pads are recommended for the RT-CL900?

The RT-CL900 works with all standard Shimano road disc brake pad compounds. The K05S-RX resin pad is the current OEM choice for most road disc setups. The L05A-RF adds a radiator fin for additional heat management on longer descents.

Can I run the RT-CL900 140mm with Ultegra or 105 Di2 disc calipers?

Yes. Shimano disc rotors are cross-compatible across caliper tiers. The RT-CL900 140mm works with Ultegra R8100, 105 R7100 Di2, GRX, and other Shimano road and gravel hydraulic disc systems on center lock hubs.

Best For

Dura-Ace disc brake riders on center lock hubs using the RT-CL900 as a rear rotor in a split 160/140mm setup, or building a weight-optimized 140mm front and rear configuration for flat to rolling road terrain.
