I feel athlete racers bring allot to the table in terms of the R&D that goes into improving equipment, but I think if you look at the athletes and racers that truly change the game in terms of performance equipment it is the ones that have real engineering education or experience- I’m not thinking of myself, I’m thinking of people like Craig Kelly (snowboarding) or Ken Miles (the real life LeMans racer portrayed in “Ford vs Ferrari”)- This type of competitor is bridging the gap between real world competition and the science and engineering of building something great
Am I right? What do you think?

“All else being equal” (I feel like I shouldn’t have to explain that part 😅) a thicker rotor is going to manage heat better than a thinner one, a bigger rotor is going to manage heat better than a smaller one, and a floating rotor is going to manage heat better than a 1-piece and you get the added benefit of no warping -

So, if you’re looking to max performance for extreme riding like World Cup downhill racing (all else being equal) you would pick a bigger, thicker, 2-piece floating rotor

Now racers will balance this against weight and probably sponsorship commitments

To me this is just physics but I think different industry players try to confuse the i$$ue

Now, if your going to point out a light weight rider may need less, you’re changing the “all else being equal” model (weight is now no longer equal weight in the comparison model)

A heavier rider will probably need more heat management than a lighter one
Just like a taller rider might benefit from longer chain stays - You can begin to argue “proportional” rotors if you like-

Power or heat management? Everything else being equal isn’t it the same thing? If heat is managed you have more power (performance) go faster, stop faster, stop faster, go faster 🔥🏁😎👍🤙
