HELLA Brake Rotors

HELLA High Carbon brake rotor

High Carbon Rotors

HELLA offers high-strength, highly carburized brake discs specially designed for high-powered electric and hybrid vehicles that offer sports car-level performance but are significantly heavier than sports cars due to their batteries. The increased carbon content ensures optimal braking performance even in extreme situations thanks to its rapid heat dissipation.

The advantages of high-carbon brake discs:

  • Minimal fading: optimum braking performance even in extreme situations thanks to faster heat dissipation of the high-strength grey cast iron.
  • Reduced brake noise: best noise-damping properties thanks to increased carbon content.
  • Fewer disc impacts: the improved heat conductivity of the high-carbon material reduces deformation. The result is less vibration and smoother braking.
  • Reliable protection: the paintwork provides lasting protection against corrosion for the pot and outer ring and is also more resistant to wheel cleaner.
  • Enhanced braking comfort: the best tolerance values make braking safer and more direct.
  • Time-saving installation: no protective oil needs to be removed thanks to the coating. The brake disc is ready for immediate installation.
  • Environmentally friendly coating: the coating consists of a special, water-based varnish that is completely harmless to the environment.
HELLA two-piece brake rotor

Two-Piece Rotors

HELLA Two-Piece Rotors feature an aluminum hat and a High Carbon friction ring, which are bonded together by rivets. The use of aluminum delivers weight savings of 15 to 20 percent and reduces the unsprung mass of the brake system.

Key features and benefits:

  • Made in Europe: engineered and manufactured to meet stringent quality standards.
  • Improved driving characteristics: reduced unsprung mass compared to one-piece rotors enhances vehicle handling and responsiveness.
  • High Carbon friction ring with aluminum hat: combines durability, thermal performance and weight reduction.
  • OE-spec dimensions and cooling fin structure: optimized for proper fitment and stopping performance.
  • Fully coated: provides corrosion protection and allows for easy installation with no cleaning required prior to installation.

All brake jobs start here.

Brake Rotors

Whether you are a DIYer or having a shop do the job, new rotors are a must.

Brake Calipers

Round out the brake job with all new HELLA calipers.

Vehicle fitment matters

Brake components must be matched to the correct vehicle application and brake system configuration. Always verify year, make, model, trim and rotor or caliper specifications before purchase or installation.
