Braking STX Rotors, Why So Cheap?

    Braking STX Rotors, Why So Cheap?

    I finally got to take my bike out for its maiden voyage today, only to find out that it has a warped front rotor. I'm trying to decide between rotors and I came across these Braking STX rotors for crazy cheap money. They're $117 per rotor, which makes me scared that they're junk. I've read some good reviews on the Braking rotors but being that cheap it makes me very cautious. Does anyone have any input on these at all?

    I believe those are A) closeouts and B) that price is for a rear rotor. I have no experience with that brand.

    Sorry guys, brain fart, I couldn't find where it said rear rotor only.

    Recommendations on decent rotors? Should I go with the EBC's or pony up the extra dough for the Galfers?

    Best I can tell, those Braking rotors are very similar (identical?) to the Galfer rotors. I have Galfer rotors on my SV track toy. They are insane. I feel as if I can slow time as we know it. I don't have the balls to stop a motorcycle like they are capable of. Perfect example of the machine being capable of way more than the rider.

    SM wheels for my new KLX/DRZ toy came with a Braking rotor. I can't wait to try it.

    Gotcha, I bet the stock brakes are way above my skill level as it is. I'm also looking at these EBC Pro-Lite rotors. They kind of look like the rotors that come on stock Kawi's.
