Our Brake Discs
Our eye-catching 4-bolt rotors are one of the first things people tend to notice about the unique Xeno hub system
Xeno hubs are not compatible with normal 6-bolt rotors.
You therefore need a KOM rotor to run a Xeno hub on your bike.
Our rotors have a 4-bolt design and will not fit a standard hub.
A lot of people seem to be repelled by just the thought of more 'proprietary' kit. KOM understands this.
We said, if people have to use these discs, they have to be brilliant. We are now on our 3rd iteration of rotor design and we are very happy with how they perform.
Here's what some of our customers think:
"The discs are the best I've ever used and the ONLY disc I've ever had that hasn't warped and then had an annoying rub"
"The disc is indeed nice and consistent."
"I'm well over a year in and discs are still dead straight despite plenty of hard use. Normally I find discs warp enough to rub within the first week of ownership."

Our Flame 2 Race rotors at a glance:
-
​Xeno hub prices are from £550 rear and £275 front - this includes the price of the disc. Extra discs cost from £50
​
-
KOM discs are much stiffer and stronger and far less likely to warp or become distorted in use
​
-
The design of the disc loses unnecessary material making for a lighter overall wheel build
​
-
Our unique cut-out design results in evenly wearing brake pads and discs as well as more consistent braking.
Proprietary?
Proprietary is perhaps the wrong word... it's just a new design!
Our rotors are not made by us. We have been developing these rotors with a company in Europe. We hope there will soon be at least one disc company in Europe offering these discs, independently from us. We want to make sure they make the discs right, so they work really well.
Why?
Why not standard discs?
Our discs allow us to have a much bigger ratchet outside the main hub body (located in the centre of the disc). This makes the whole hub stronger. Also, it allows us to utilise the inherent strength of steel discs. It's no longer just dead weight!
Why only 4 bolts?
Because they are on a larger bolt circle, the load on the 4 bolts is very similar to the load on 6 bolts on a regular disc. Also, 2 fewer mount nodes and 2 fewer bolts means less metal and less weight. The Xeno hub is already a competitive-weight hub but this and the bigger hole in the middle of the disc means your hub and disc combo is even lighter.
