FSA Afterburner One-Piece Disc Brake Rotor – 160mm – 6-Bolt – Silver
The FSA Afterburner is a lightweight, one-piece steel disc rotor designed for everyday riding where consistent braking and good heat control matter. Extra material is placed where the rotor needs stiffness and cooling, while drilled sections keep overall weight down.
At 160mm, this rotor is a solid replacement for road, gravel, commuter, and light trail bikes that don’t require oversized rotors.
