Designed for drivers who demand superior braking performance and reliability, these rotors deliver enhanced stopping power and consistent pedal feel under a variety of driving conditions.

Featuring a drilled and slotted design, the Talon rotors improve heat dissipation and maintain clean brake pad surfaces, reducing fade during aggressive driving or heavy towing. Whether upgrading from factory components or replacing worn rotors, this set offers a direct-fit solution that preserves the integrity of your vehicle’s original braking system without requiring modifications.

Key Features

Hawk Performance Talon rotors combine advanced engineering and premium materials to meet the needs of performance enthusiasts and daily drivers alike. Key features include:

• Drilled and slotted rotor surface to enhance thermal efficiency and reduce brake fade
• Vented rotor construction for superior heat dissipation during heavy braking
• Precision-milled curved slots designed to keep pad surfaces clean and expel debris
• Salt spray tested per ISO-9227 standards, exceeding 240 hours for outstanding corrosion resistance
• Manufactured from G3000 metallurgy, a high-strength automotive casting material
• CNC balanced to minimize harmonic resonance and vibration for smooth braking
• Magni™ coating applied to protect against rust and maintain a clean appearance
• Built to original equipment (OE) specifications for exact fit, weight, and performance
• Engineered and coated in ISO-certified North American facilities

Construction & Design

The Talon rotors are crafted from G3000 metallurgy, a premium automotive casting alloy known for its durability and strength under extreme braking conditions. This material ensures long-lasting structural integrity and resistance to cracking or warping.

The rotors feature a vented design that promotes airflow through the rotor core, effectively dissipating heat generated during braking. This reduces the risk of brake fade and maintains consistent stopping power during extended or aggressive use.

Each rotor incorporates Hawk Performance’s proprietary DTC (Drilled and Slotted Technology) design, combining curved slots and cross-drilled holes. This configuration optimizes thermal management, helps expel water and debris, and improves pad bite consistency, especially in wet conditions. The Magni™ coating provides a durable protective barrier against corrosion, extending rotor life and preserving appearance.

Installation & Fitment

The Hawk Talon Brake Rotor Set is a direct bolt-on replacement for the front axle of Dodge Ram 1500 SRT-10 models from 2002 to 2010 with the 8.3L V10 engine. These rotors meet or exceed all original equipment specifications, ensuring a seamless fit without any modifications to your vehicle’s braking system.

Installation can be performed by professional mechanics or experienced DIY enthusiasts using standard brake service tools. No special adaptations or machining are required, making it a straightforward upgrade or replacement option.
