Hello Everyone

I want to upgrade my SantaCruz Chameleon 3 HARDTAIL MTB Disc Brake Rotors Size but I don't know if they fit there .

My bike has Shimano M525-BR hydraulic brake system and it is equiped with 160mm Disc Rotors, so I want to upgrade them to 180mm or 203mm

Thanks to everyone who advices me .

Best Regards

Niti

    I wouldn't go 203mm, its probably more than your fork will warranty (and be safe at) - the fork is a? 180 on the front is reasonable, you'll just need the disc and correct calliper adaptor. For the rear I really wouldn't bother, you should be able to lock it at will with a 160, so a 180 is pointless.
    Currently riding a Whyte T130C, X0 drivetrain, Magura Trail brakes converted to mixed wheel size (homebuilt wheels) with 140mm Fox 34 Rhythm and RP23 suspension. 12.2Kg.
