✅ Magura MDR-P: Best for e-MX, Sur-Ron, Talaria, and heavy-duty braking. Extremely durable and warp-resistant.
🔵 Shimano RT-MT905: Best cooling performance thanks to Freeza fins, but less durable under e-MX loads.
🔴 TRP 2.3mm Rotor: Ideal for heavy riders and DH use; thicker rotor offers power but adds drag.
🟠 Hope Floating: Stylish and good for trail/enduro; lighter, but less heat-tolerant.
🟢 Galfer Wave: Sleek and silent, but more suited for trail/enduro than aggressive e-bike use.
Why it matters: Electric bikes are heavier and faster, generating more heat under braking.
What to look for:
Floating rotor design (2-piece)
Thicker rotor (≥2.0mm)
Vented or finned structure (e.g. Shimano Freeza)
Best for: Downhill, enduro, stunt riding, and heavy e-bikes
Standard: 1.8mm
Heavy-duty: 2.0–2.3mm (TRP, MDR-P)
Why it matters: Thicker rotors resist warping and provide more surface area for braking force.
Check: Your calliper clearance — some setups may not fit rotors over 2.0mm thick.
Match the mounting pattern:
6-bolt: Most Sur-Ron/Talaria/e-MTB setups
Center-lock: Some Shimano builds
Match the caliper spec:
Magura rotors = ideal with Magura callipers
TRP 2.3mm rotors may require specific TRP callipers
Lighter rotors (e.g. Galfer, Hope): good for trail and XC
Heavier rotors (e.g. MDR-P, TRP): better for downhill, e-MX, and high loads
Consider whether you prioritise agility or maximum stopping power
Rotors that resist warping maintain performance longer
Floating rotors (like MDR-P, Hope) reduce stress and vibration
Thicker rotors (TRP, MDR-P) last longer under hard braking
Some rotors are noisier due to aggressive compounds or floating design
Galfer and Hope are generally quieter
Pairing with the right pads can reduce noise regardless of rotor
Riding Type | Recommended Rotor Type |
---|---|
Commuting / Urban | Lightweight one-piece (Galfer, Shimano RT66) |
Trail / All-Mountain | Floating or vented rotor (Hope, MDR-C) |
Downhill / Stunt | Heavy-duty floating rotor (MDR-P, TRP 2.3mm) |
e-MX / Sur-Ron / Talaria | Floating, thick rotor (MDR-P, TRP) |
Some riders prefer visual match with their callipers (e.g., Magura rotors on Magura brakes)
Consider rotor design (wave-cut, coloured spiders, etc.) if aesthetics matter
Always pair high-performance rotors with high-quality pads and fresh brake fluid for best results. A good rotor can be underwhelming with worn pads or contaminated systems.

EBC Red or HH Pads, or Magura Performance Pads (depending on your brake system)
The MDR-P is heavier than stock but that’s by design — its stiffer aluminum spider and thicker braking surface make it far more resistant to warping, especially under the higher speeds and weight of electric motocross bikes like the Sur-Ron and Talaria.
If you're pushing your Sur-Ron or Talaria hard — on trails, descents, or stunts — the Magura MDR-P 203mm is a top-tier rotor upgrade that delivers fade-free power, extreme durability, and smoother braking. It bolts right on with no modifications required.
The Magura Rotor MDR-P, Ø 203mm, 6-Hole, is the ultimate upgrade for Surron riders seeking unparalleled braking performance and reliability.
Q: Will this rotor fit my Sur-Ron or Talaria?
Yes! This 203mm rotor uses a standard 6-bolt mount, which is compatible with both Sur-Ron Light Bee and Talaria front hubs.
Q: Is the MDR-P better than the MDR-C?
Yes — the MDR-P has a floating two-piece design, better heat resistance, and is stronger under extreme braking loads.
Q: What brake pads should I use with this?
Use high-performance pads like Magura Sport or Performance series for optimal bite and modulation.
Q: Can I use this with Shimano or SRAM brakes?
Yes, as long as your calipers are compatible with 203mm rotors and 6-bolt mount patterns.
