Each Tarox rotor starts from a premium casting, is stress relieved through heat treatment, then precision machined and finish ground to ultra-tight tolerances for a mirror-smooth braking face. The result is exceptional consistency under repeated hard stops, excellent pad contact, reduced vibration and long-term durability. Many applications benefit from TÜV and ABE approvals, with castings based on OE specification for a direct, bolt-on fit.
