Expanded Bendix General CT™ range showcases industry-first wear indicator feature

Bendix’s popular General CT™ range has expanded with the addition of new Bendix Disc Brake Rotors which introduce industry-first technology for Australian and New Zealand markets.

The new Bendix General CT™ rotors are designed to provide reliable, durable and confidence inspiring braking performance for ‘everyday’ passenger vehicles, and debut Bendix’s new SwiftCheck™ innovation, a market first innovation.

Bendix has expanded its popular General CT™ range with the addition of Disc Brake Rotors that feature an industry first technology for Australia and New Zealand.

SwiftCheck™ provides a fast and convenient visual indicator of rotor wear, letting motor trade professionals estimate remaining rotor life without the need to measure rotor thickness, allowing them to decide on part replacement. The feature also provides added convenience and peace of mind for vehicle owners, who can inspect the rotors themselves and take appropriate action if needed, such as when preparing for an extended driving holiday or similar.

SwiftCheck™ is a machined feature that creates circular grooves on the rotor surface that narrow and disappear progressively as the rotor wears. Once the wear indicator displays a singular dot in the centre, this indicates it’s time for the rotor to be changed.

The rotors offer reliable, durable and confidence inspiring braking performance for ‘everyday’ passenger vehicles.

Along with providing this time-saving feature, General CT™ Disc Brake Rotors excel when it comes to braking performance. The range features high quality metallurgy that’s designed for longevity and improved heat dissipation.

The range also delivers an ‘E+ Original Equipment Fit’ that’s designed to be a direct replacement for OE rotors – they meet or exceed OE specifications and deliver confidence for both workshops and vehicle owners. General CT™ Disc Brake Rotors were developed to provide great results with all disc brake pad formulations, but for optimum performance, they’re best matched with the Bendix range of brake pads.

Bendix General CT™ Disc Brake Rotors feature 'SwiftCheck™', an innovation that provides a fast visual indicator of rotor wear, letting mechanics estimate remaining rotor life without the need to measure rotor thickness, allowing them to decide on part replacement.

As with Bendix’s other disc brake rotor product lines, General CT™ rotors feature SwiftFit™ surface protection. SwiftFit™ is a coating that allows the rotor to be fitted without needing to remove oils. SwiftFit™ also helps prevent corrosion of the rotor resulting in an almost unlimited shelf life and a rust-free rotor.

Clever new packaging

Bendix’s strong focus on sustainability sees the General CT™ Disc Brake Rotor range adopt FSC™ Certified exterior packaging, which is suitable for curbside recycling.

For the first time on any Bendix packaging, the General CT™ Disc Brake Rotor box also contains fitting instructions in the form of an illustrative guide, which should be uses along with vehicle specific information provided by the OE manufacturer during installation.

Clever packaging with 'Easy Lift' finger holes also allows for more comfortable handling of the rotors.

Another new feature of the packaging on most rotors within the General CT™ range, is the introduction of ‘Easy Lift’ finger holes. These are pre-punctured holes that allow each box to be picked up and handled more ergonomically and easily.

Bendix’s new General CT™ Disc Brake Rotor range is available to suit a wide selection of both late and early model passenger cars, four-wheel drives and light commercial vehicles.
