RAVEN SL Titanium Centerlock Disc Rotor
The ultimate expression of lightweight braking. RAVEN SL Titanium takes the same mathematically optimized braking architecture as RAVEN SL and pushes weight reduction significantly further. Instead of stainless steel, its friction ring is made from titanium, dramatically reducing rotating mass while retaining the proven RAVEN friction-track geometry.
The challenge with titanium is wear. To overcome it, the braking surface undergoes a specialized diffusion treatment that creates an extremely hard, Titanium Carbide (TiC)-rich zone within the titanium itself. Unlike a conventional coating applied on top of the rotor, this protective black surface is formed in-situ and transitions gradually into the titanium beneath it, providing the wear resistance required at the friction interface.
The result is an exceptionally light full-floating Center Lock rotor combining a titanium friction ring, TiC-rich braking surface and RAVEN's mathematically calculated perforation pattern.

NOT A CONVENTIONAL COATING
The black braking surface is not simply a coating deposited onto the rotor. A specialized diffusion process creates an extremely hard Titanium Carbide (TiC)-rich zone in-situ within the titanium surface, transitioning gradually into the titanium substrate beneath it.
This allows RAVEN SL Titanium to combine the exceptionally low density of titanium with the surface hardness and wear resistance required from a high-performance braking surface.
