wow... thats fairly pimped...

Theyre both floating rotors, looking at the rest of the bike wouldnt be surprised if theyre vented too

lol. seriously serph?
v2's are made to work with v2 rotors, EITHER standard floating rotor OR vented floating rotor.

No, they're really not. V2 rotors are thicker than normal rotors because they're vented, and the pad spacing on the V2 calipers is specific to a thicker disc.

To quote my distributor:
"Due to increased rotor width only compatible with Hope brakes using the V2/Moto caliper."

hope STILL offers standard non vented rotors, every i know who has v2's do not have vented rotors.

I'm with bxxer-rider on this one.. V2's still come with non vented rotors, but are the only hope caliper capable of accommodating the wider, vented type. You can use solid discs with them, but you can't use the vented discs with anything else

its to dissipate the heat better so the rotor does not warp on long downhill courses where others would

yes, we speak english. why?
were you asking if we speak english becuase i ask what vented disk is while its obvious what vented disk is by the name?
i know what vent is its just i didnt know why a disk brake needs to be vented, becuase i didnt know that a disk brake could heat up enough for the disk to warp.

It's not purely warping that is a problem. Brake fade can also be caused through the pads exceeding their heat range and brake fluid boiling. Brakes like this dissipate heat far better along with the fluid used generally being of a higher dot level

i am not going to do a spell check.. but it was kinda obvious.. ever touched your disc after riding

nope im not that stupid, tho some kids did ask me if they could and they got told how stupid they were

i did know that a disk could heat up from braking but, like what i said i didnt know that, that heat caused by breaking is hot enough to cause so much damage to the disks that were over engineered by some of the biggest company out.

Its a physical certainty that friction will cause excess heat, manufacturers just do what they can to combat this. They cant reduce the heat that is generated, they can only design features that dissipate heat faster as to avoid build up. Hence the point of vented rotors, by introducing airflow in between the two braking surfaces of the disc, this greatly reduces the amount of heat build-up that occurs in the disc itself
