They're a great idea for a road bike, if you wanna die or if you ride like a racer and can ride on the road with slick tyres, then they're maybe ok but I think I'd sooner eat my own sick.

They might glow in the dark, if you really hammer them, which would be a cool bonus... well hot really but you know what I mean

they’re not the same compounds as gp discs, they’re designed to work at sensible temperatures.

The clue is in the name
Carbon Ceramic - work from cold, in the rain and wow are they good in normal use no need to keep them hot produce very little dust and weigh a fraction of the standard iron rotors only limited by the tyres, 2 kilo's of the front end makes turning in so sweet Full Carbon - No heat in them means no brakes totally useless unless you are a MotoGP god

So as well as the two kilos, if you paid in £1 coins @8.75g each, you would save 23.59875 Kilos...Quite a saving!!
Except of course you would get 2p change back @7.12g so in fact you would only be saving 23.52755 Kilos..

since titanium, magnesium and carbon weight savings all work out at around £1/g you might as well make sure it’s unsprung and rotating mass for maximum gain

Food for thought - Regarding un-sprung weight and rotating mass, wonder what the effect would be like if you had a BST carbon rims too?
