Baer Claw Performance Slotted and Drilled Rotor

2002–2018 Dodge Ram 1500 / 2004–2009 Dodge Durango

53005-020

Overview:

The Baer Claw Performance Slotted and Drilled Rotors are engineered to enhance braking performance and elevate the visual appeal of your Dodge Ram 1500 or Dodge Durango. Designed as direct replacements for the front rotors, these rotors feature a precision-machined cross-drilled and slotted friction surface that effectively dissipates heat, gases, and brake dust. This design ensures a more consistent brake pedal feel and reduces the risk of brake fade during demanding driving conditions. Ideal for truck and SUV owners seeking improved stopping power and a stylish upgrade, these rotors deliver reliable performance on both street and light performance applications.

Key Features:

Baer Claw rotors incorporate advanced design elements and premium materials to provide superior braking efficiency and durability. Key features include:

• Cross-drilled and slotted friction surface to allow gases and dust to escape, enhancing braking consistency and reducing fade
• Enhanced vane structure for improved rotor cooling and heat dissipation during heavy braking
• Premium materials combined with mill balancing for smooth, vibration-free operation
• Chamfered cross-drilled holes to minimize stress cracking and extend rotor life
• Zinc-plated finish that offers corrosion resistance and a brilliant appearance behind open center wheels
• Direct bolt-on replacement for easy installation without modifications
• Specifically designed to fit front brakes on Dodge Ram 1500 (2002–2018) and Dodge Durango (2004–2009)

Construction & Design:

Each Baer Claw rotor is crafted from high-quality cast iron and engineered with an optimized vane design to maximize airflow and cooling efficiency. The cross-drilled holes are precisely chamfered to reduce stress concentrations, preventing premature cracking under thermal cycling. The slotted surface improves pad bite and helps maintain a clean contact patch by channeling away debris and gases. A durable zinc plating protects the rotor surface from rust and corrosion, preserving both performance and aesthetics over time. The rotors are mill balanced to ensure smooth rotation and reduce brake system vibrations.

Installation & Fitment:

These rotors are designed as direct replacements for the front brake rotors on Dodge Ram 1500 models from 2002 through 2018 and Dodge Durango models from 2004 through 2009. Installation requires no modifications and fits with factory brake pads and calipers. Professional installation is recommended to ensure proper torque specifications and brake system performance. Routine inspection and maintenance will help maximize the lifespan and effectiveness of the rotors.

What's Included:

• Pair of Baer Claw Performance Slotted and Drilled Front Rotors

Ideal For:

These performance rotors are ideal for Dodge Ram 1500 and Dodge Durango owners who want to upgrade their braking system for improved heat dissipation, reduced fade, and enhanced pedal feel. They suit daily drivers, light towing, and enthusiasts who appreciate a combination of functional performance and aggressive styling. The zinc-plated finish also makes them a great choice for vehicles with open-spoke wheels where rotor appearance is visible.
