Sintered or Bonded

[StwBald]

Hi All

Apologies if this has been covered before, but I've just getting back into the electric scene, but I've got a couple of questions.

What is the difference in performance between Sintered and Bonded, does one last longer than the other.

At the moment I've got a LRP X11 5.5 which is the best rotor?

Cheers Stewy

sintered is best by far, more efficient, lasts longer, better braking, bonded has become pretty much obselete now and most good brands of motor are sold standard with sintered rotors now

your best all-round option would be the LRP 12.5mm Sintered rotor for the X11

'feels' quite similar to be bonded (a good thing)
but does not explode like bonded used to (another good thing)
