Brake Disc Clarks CL 160 mm, silver-black

Clarks CL 160 mm brake disc, finished in silver and black, is a single rotor designed for bicycles that require a 160 mm diameter braking rotor. This rotor is compatible with disc brake calipers and frames that accept a standard 160 mm disc, offering consistent contact surface and a predictable braking feel when paired with appropriate pads and calipers. Its two-color finish combines corrosion-resistant silver braking surface with a black carrier for a neutral technical appearance.

Advantages

The Clarks CL 160 mm rotor provides reliable stopping performance in everyday riding conditions and routine maintenance cycles. Its 160 mm size balances compactness and braking torque for many commuter, hybrid and light mountain bikes. The silver braking surface is designed for consistent pad engagement while the black carrier reduces visible wear and integrates with a range of bicycle color schemes. The single-rotor format simplifies replacement and helps maintain correct rotor alignment when installed according to manufacturer torque settings.

Suitable for

• Replacement of worn or damaged 160 mm disc rotors on bicycles
• Upgrading from smaller or more worn rotors to a new 160 mm rotor
• Commuter, hybrid, city and light off-road bicycles that accept 160 mm rotors
• Riders seeking a neutral silver-black rotor appearance

Key specifications

• Nominal diameter: 160 mm
• Rotor type: single-disc, centre-mount compatible with standard 6-bolt or adapter systems (verify caliper mount)
• Finish: silver braking surface with black carrier
• Material: steel braking surface and carrier (standard disc rotor construction)
• Intended use: mechanical or hydraulic disc brake systems that accept 160 mm rotors

How to use

Install the Clarks CL 160 mm brake disc following the bicycle and brake caliper manufacturer’s instructions. Ensure the wheel hub and mounting interface are clean and free of grease, align the rotor with the caliper and hand-tighten mounting bolts in a star pattern before torquing to the recommended value. After installation, spin the wheel to verify there is no rubbing and perform a short test ride to bed in the rotor with compatible brake pads. Check bolt torque and pad alignment after the initial rides.

Usage recommendations

Use only brake pads recommended for your brake caliper and avoid contaminating the rotor surface with oil or lubricants. Periodically inspect the rotor for wear, scoring or warping and replace the rotor if braking performance deteriorates or thickness falls below the caliper manufacturer’s limit.
