My guess is that those are real. They look pretty typical for the lower half of Shimano’s lineup. The cutouts have squarer edges on ice tech rotors.

Shimano says
>*Precision cut stainless steel braking surface*
Which doesn’t seem to be the case at all; it’s the extra nodules that seem particularly off to me.

no. they even make icetec rt86 there now, look like stamped shit as well.
japanese disks were better made

Keep in mind that if you CNC/mill a rotor, the surface profile tends to improve braking by abrading the pads. If they are stamped without additional treatment processes, you are getting the cooling of those ports but not the improved braking.

I’ll always take laser cut random amazon rotors over the bottom tier shimano stamped ones.
