ABSTRACT:
A slanted brake rotor for use in a disc brake assembly includes a flange portion for mounting a wheel wherein the wheel includes an axis of rotation associated therewith, a cylindrical, axially oriented barrel portion extending from said flange, and an annular member extending from the barrel portion. The annular member includes a central axis and two opposing friction faces for engaging a respective friction element during braking. The annular member is slanted or angled from the conventional upright position so that the central axis of the annular member forms an acute angle with the wheel axis of rotation. Each face of the annular member has a free first end, and a respective second end positioned radially inwardly of the first free end, taken with respect to the wheel axis of rotation. Each face is substantially planar between the free first end and the second end. Further, each friction face is substantially parallel to the central axis.
