SPECIAL ORDER
BrakeTech Axis/Iron full floater 220mm front brake rotor for ABS-equipped 2019+ Honda Grom 125, Monkey 125, and Super Cub 125! These are the highest and most extreme performance rotors available in the Mini Moto market! OEM Grom 125 and Monkey 125 brake rotor thickness is 3.5mm, BrakeTech thickness is 5mm! It'll handle all of the heat and usage that a Grom, Monkey, or Super Cub could give!
Note: AXIS/Iron Black GunKote: This is a rust-inhibiting coating that is thermally bonded on to minimize corrosion. It must be cleared from the pad sweep area before the rotors become fully functional. Please see the link below for Axis/Iron rotor clearing instructions.
Available bobbin/rivet colors: Red, Blue, Black
The exclusive BrakeTech AXIS™ series Ductile Iron full-floaters provides a higher coefficient of friction over stainless, with more feel and feedback at the brake lever. The patented AXIS Design floating system is many times stronger than conventional semi-floating brake rotors. The heart of this leading-edge system has the floater buttons controlling radial and axial float only, they are non-load-bearing. All of the considerable braking forces are channeled through the trademarked Direct-Link™ architecture, comprising over an 800% increase in surface area load transfer as compared to conventional floating brake rotors…simply far superior by design!
Iron provides a higher coefficient of friction over stainless, with more feel and feedback at the brake lever. But get them wet – they’re going to rust. If you’re a fair-weather rider, then it’s a non-event and not an issue. However, if you ride distances where inclement weather is a definite possibility, you’re better off with the BrakeTech AXIS/Cobra stainless steel series in the optimized petal design.

Sintered Metal Brake Pads on Iron?
There does indeed exist a universal prohibition against the use of sintered metal pads on generic cast iron rotors, we have the same warning. But this caveat is more specifically targeted to old-school gray cast iron and particularly of the individual molding, gravity feed casting type. That combination was and is inherently problematic with a propensity towards suffering from thermal stress-induced fracturing. Not good.
The AXIS/Iron on the other hand is a significantly different animal. Firstly, it is CNC machined from American-made high-grade nodular ductile iron, not gray iron. Secondly, it’s a genuine billet part, sawed from a continuous cast bar (which eliminates porosity and the problems associated with that). Thirdly, it is an inherently stronger material with tensile strength more akin to steel than gray iron. Plus, besides traditional heat-treat, we also Cryogenically process them to improve their abrasion resistance and reduce wear. But bear in mind, they are still “softer” than stainless steel, which simply stated means you cannot run any pad you want without the potential for problems developing…
We test extensively with virtually all the Ferodo sintered metal pads to assure compatibility with our ductile iron rotors, which is why we can recommend the Ferodo SinterGrip ST, XRAC, and ZRAC pads for this application. Though along with virtually all other sintered metal formulations, they will likely result in a somewhat shortened rotor life compared to the organic alternative. For those with a nagging concern regarding the wear issue, we recommend the new Carbon/ceramic CPro race pads. They are a brilliant performer on stainless, and even better on iron and as such, are more than worthy of your consideration for race use on all iron rotors.
