R1 Concepts Rotor Review - Worth the Hype?

I replaced them after 30,000 miles but that was expected. Overall, the lifespan was better than previous brands I used, so I’m satisfied.

What about the cost? Are R1 Concepts Rotors worth the investment given their reliability? It feels like they’re priced a bit higher than average.

It’s definitely a solid investment for performance and durability! I’d say they’re worth it if you prioritize quality.

From what I’ve seen, they do perform well initially but do require some care to maintain performance. I’d give them a solid B for reliability.

That’s fair! A B is a pretty decent score. What factors weighed into that rating for you?

I think conditions make a big impact. I drive in the mountains and they sometimes get too hot. Honestly, it’s a gamble with rotors in those conditions.

Ha! I hope I won’t end up deciding between a rotor and a brake pad in a game of chicken! But really, the performance is intriguing.
