Ashima sent along a ordered of their newborn 2012 Ai2 lightweight rotors for investigating to coexist with its creation start at the Taichung Bike Week, which is attractive place in Taichung island this week. Ashima has been making whatever rattling gimmick lightweight rotors for quite whatever time, and I hit utilised their AiRotor creation since it was in its beta stage. In direct comparability to the AiRotor, the Ai2 rotors are 20% lighter, hit large cutouts and a more wavy and undulating pattern, and the struts are steeper and hit been added bracing.
The Ai2 armature looks leaner, and the 160mm edition weighs most the aforementioned as the AiRotor 140mm version, and effort near the the uber coefficient weenie Scrub rotors. They should be acquirable in Spring 2012, and though no pricing was given, they should be rattling affordable.
Measured Specs (160mm):
- AiRotor – 84.2 grams
- New Rotor – 66.6 grams
I hit yet to effort the rotors, so I can’t interpret on how the cutouts, newborn ornament and impaired braking opencast module work in actual concern riding? I assume that they’ll work pretty well, since the Wayne Moore, the specializer and guru behind the Ashima braking products, tests them to extremity levels and pushes their family “without limits.” I am still fascinated to wager their rattling gimmick Matrix armature when it’s finally released.
The Matrix performs the aforementioned sort of trickery as the Shimano ICE system, combining poise and metal together, using apiece of their unequalled properties to attain a well performing rotor. The latest process has crimping to stop the poise braking opencast and metal carrier together, and haw hit a retrofitted plastic fan between the hub and rotor, to provide a diminutive chilling effect.
