"Wavy" discs have been on bikes for years.

• Strong braking action with good braking "feel".
• Even wear of pad.
• The upper disc loses more heat (larger surface)
• The outer "teeth" can expand (grow) outwards when hot, therefore not causing the disc to warp.
• The constant change of contact area between disc and pad reduces the "grabbing" effect.
