Bendix releases new range of rotors for full-size 4WDs

Toyota LandCruiser 300 Series owners can now access the many benefits of Bendix’s Ultimate 4WD sports and performance disc brake rotors, following the release of front and rear options for the LC300 and FJA300 variants from MY21+.

The expanded range also covers RAM’s 1500 DT series models from MY18+. For Chevy Silverado owners, there is now a front Ultimate 4WD disc brake rotor option for models from 2020 onwards. Additionally, there’s now more on offer for the Ford Ranger, with rear Ultimate 4WD sports and performance disc brake rotors for PX3 and Raptor variants from 2018-2020.

“The latest upgrades from Bendix provide additional braking performance for owners of large four-wheel drives such as the new 300 Series LandCruiser, along with several of the popular full-size American trucks,” said Ian Campbell, Bendix Product Manager.

"These models are already heavy in standard trim and, once they're accessorised with bar work and the like, hundreds more kilograms of weight can quickly be added. Ultimate 4WD sports and performance disc brake rotors help restore the balance, providing more confident and safer braking."

The rotors use specific metallurgy which increases rotor strength at elevated temperatures while also providing high wear resistance. This increases overall rotor durability and reduces the chance of warping when very hot. Other benefits include high-efficiency cooling pillars, which have been designed to channel cool air into the rotor, expelling hot air faster and increasing the resistance to thermal cracks.

Additional braking performance in this range is achieved through Bendix’s Diamond Tip Slot technology. This feature uses specially designed slots and V-shaped simples on the rotor surface to expel gasses, dirt and water more efficiently.
