Steal rusts no matter what especially when the pad and heat attacks the surface coating. It would be nice to see a stainless steel unit someday!

This is a fine Padron 1964 Anniversary if you’re wondering…

Hate to tell you, but stainless steel is one of the worst materials to make brake rotors out of. The frictional coeficient of stainless steel with a lot of chromium in it is very poor. The rotors will not shead heat as well also. You would rear end the first car you approached at high speed at a stop light.

Street Motorcycles stop like crap because of stainless rotors. Every time the bike makers try to drop the chromium content in rotors, owners complain their rotors are rusting. A race bike would never use street rotors.
