Looking at some new rotors, what do ppl think to the alpine rotors superstar do?? Good build quality or are they abit dog poo for the money?

I've got their Helix rotors on most of the bikes I think...they're fine

Fine as long as you avoid the floating rotors. They make all sorts of noises and the rivets hit the calipers with quite a few different brakes.

Cheers lads, going the the alpine to add a bit of colour to the bike.

Is this on one of your bikes that gets regular use on Alpine terrain?

The Helix looks a similar design to some of the other super light rotors. I've read about a few durability issues about them mostly warping more than usual.

Just checked; 2x 180mm Helix on the 'hopper, rear 203mm Helix on the Session and rear 180mm Helix on the Votec - all get smashed down Alps (the 'hopper not so much anymore ) - I've had no warping or any other problems with any of these rotors
