Baer BIG Claw Performance Rotors

2006–2018 Ram 1500 / 2006–2010 Dodge Ram 1500

2141019

Overview:

The Baer BIG Claw Slotted and Drilled Zinc Plated Performance Rotors are a direct bolt-on upgrade designed to enhance the braking performance of your Ram 1500 or Dodge Ram 1500. This kit offers a cost-effective alternative to full big brake systems by increasing rotor size and improving heat dissipation, resulting in better brake torque and reduced stopping distances. Ideal for truck owners seeking improved braking reliability and a striking visual upgrade, these rotors deliver consistent pedal feel and fade resistance under demanding conditions.

Featuring a larger diameter than stock rotors, the BIG Claw kit includes caliper relocation brackets to ensure proper fitment and maintain original equipment pad compatibility. The rotors’ slotted and drilled design combined with a corrosion-resistant zinc-plated finish provides both functional and aesthetic benefits, especially when paired with large open-spoke wheels.

Key Features:

Baer’s BIG Claw rotors incorporate advanced design elements to optimize braking performance and durability:

• Larger than stock diameter rotors increase brake torque and reduce stopping distances for enhanced safety.
• Cross-drilled and slotted surface allows gases and brake dust to escape, maintaining consistent pedal feel and reducing brake fade.
• One-piece, purpose-cast rotor construction with increased mass in the friction area improves heat absorption and durability.
• Directionally curved vanes act like a centrifugal pump to maximize airflow, improving heat dissipation and cooling efficiency.
• Direct bolt-on installation requires no brake bleeding and retains original equipment pad fitment.
• Includes caliper relocation brackets that reuse OE pad abutment clips and hardware for a seamless upgrade.
• Zinc-plated finish offers corrosion resistance and a brilliant visual impact behind large open wheels.
• Designed specifically for Ram 1500 models from 2006 to 2018 and Dodge Ram 1500 from 2006 to 2010.

Construction & Design:

The BIG Claw rotors are crafted from high-quality, purpose-cast materials that provide increased mass in the friction path to absorb and dissipate heat more effectively than stock rotors. The one-piece design enhances structural integrity and reliability under heavy braking conditions. The rotors feature a directional vane design that functions as a centrifugal pump, drawing air through the rotor to accelerate cooling and reduce the risk of brake fade during extended use.

The zinc-plated finish not only protects against rust and corrosion but also adds a polished, high-performance look that complements aftermarket wheels with large open centers. The slotted and drilled pattern is engineered to maintain clean pad surfaces and consistent braking performance by venting gases and debris generated during braking.

Installation & Fitment:

This Baer BIG Claw rotor kit is a direct bolt-on upgrade for Ram 1500 trucks from 2006 through 2018 and Dodge Ram 1500 models from 2006 through 2010. The kit includes caliper relocation brackets that allow the use of original equipment brake pads and hardware, simplifying installation without the need for brake bleeding. Because wheel designs vary widely, Baer recommends verifying wheel clearance using the provided template to ensure proper fitment, including with spare tires and wheels.

What's Included:

• Pair of 1-piece, larger diameter BIG Claw rotors (front)
• Caliper relocation brackets
• Hardware to reuse OE pad abutment clips and mounting
• Installation instructions and wheel fitment template

Ideal For:

This rotor upgrade is perfect for Ram 1500 and Dodge Ram 1500 owners who want to improve braking performance without the expense and complexity of a full big brake kit. It suits daily drivers, light towing, and enthusiasts who demand consistent braking under load or spirited driving. Additionally, the zinc-plated, slotted, and drilled rotors enhance the visual appeal of trucks equipped with large open-spoke wheels.

Baer Brakes develops high-performance braking systems built to improve stopping power, heat management, and pedal confidence. From big brake kits to performance rotors and calipers, Baer focuses on engineered, detail-oriented solutions that help performance cars, trucks, and restomods brake harder and stay consistent under repeated heavy use.
