That would be a problem especially with tracking. The s2000 rear brakes were also solid and non vented which absorbs a significant amount of heat. Definitely has problems in terms of longevity of the rotors and calipers over time. Does anyone offer a vented rear disc ?

Girodisc rotors are curved vane.

From their website.
“The rotor utilizes a curved vane design, developed in racing to act as a centrifugal pump to force cooling air through the disc.”

Yes the curved vane in the surface but the the vents in the side of the rotor is very important for cooling as well.

I am not talking about contact surface grooves / slots. The vaning is internal to the disc, in between the two friction surfaces. When it spins, it pumps air through the inside of the disc.

The brakes are a two piece design with replaceable discs and reusable hats. They are commonly used on track applications everywhere.

Girodisc does not make solid rotors (that I am aware of).
