Bendix’s premium Ultimate Sports & Performance rotor range has been enhanced with the addition of SwiftCheck, a handy visual wear indicator.
Introduced in the General CT Disc Brake Rotor range last year, the adoption of the innovation across the Ultimate range – which is now named Ultimate+ – provides a fast and convenient visual indicator of rotor wear, letting motor trade professionals estimate remaining rotor life without the need to measure rotor thickness.
The feature also provides added convenience and peace of mind for vehicle owners, who can inspect the rotors themselves and take appropriate action if needed, such as when preparing for an extended driving holiday or period of heavy fleet use.
SwiftCheck is a machined feature that creates circular grooves on the rotor surface that narrow and disappear progressively as the rotor wears. Once the wear indicator displays a singular dot in the centre, this indicates it’s time for the rotor to be changed.
Along with the convenience factor, the Ultimate+ range features high carbon metallurgy, providing superior stopping power and reduced wear, while also delivering improved thermal stability that reduces brake fade and warping under extreme braking temperatures.
The rotors are also equipped with Diamond Tip slots, which are specifically designed with unidirectional configurations, along with V-shaped dimples, which assist in dispersing hot gases, dirt and water, leading to more consistent braking.
Never has it been easier to inspect rotor wear, with the SwiftCheck solution offering a simple, reliable solution.
