Run variant by variant through the mountain bike builder’s own engine. Every sentence below is the checker’s, unedited. Nothing here says this part fits your bike; it says what it does and does not fit among the parts we hold.

Checked against 5997 verified mountain bike parts in this catalog. 5696 produced no finding of any kind; that is SM-RT30 203mm (CL). SM-RT30 160mm (CL) clears 5421. Each variant produces 12 to 344 distinct errors and 0 to 3 distinct warnings.

Will not fit

  • Will not fiterror · Front WheelFront rotor interface mismatch: Center Lock rotor on 6-bolt front hub - no adapter exists for this direction. On 180 of the 270 verified front wheels in this catalog. Applies to all 3 variants.
  • Will not fiterror · Front HubFront rotor interface mismatch: Center Lock rotor on 6-bolt front hub - no adapter exists for this direction. On 21 of the 40 verified front hubs in this catalog. Applies to all 3 variants.
  • Will not fiterror · ForkFront rotor too small: 160mm is below the RockShox 35 Gold RL minimum of 180mm (its native mount size). Post-mount adapters only space the caliper up, so no adapter can make a smaller rotor fit. On 2 of the 490 verified forks in this catalog. Applies to 1 of 3 variants.

Front rotor min, Fork. 449 more findings from the same check, on up to 1 of the 490 verified forks each.

Front brake rotor max, Front Brake. 10 more findings from the same check, on up to 1 of the 92 verified brakes each.

Front brake rotor excluded, Front Brake. 2 more findings from the same check, on up to 1 of the 92 verified brakes each.

Check before you buy

  • Check before you buywarning · ForkFront rotor: 203mm exceeds the fork max of 180mm. A post-mount adapter is the part that steps a caliper up to a bigger rotor, sold in the maker’s own discrete size steps (commonly +20mm, e.g. 160 to 180mm or 180 to 200mm) rather than for any gap - and not every step is offered for every caliper model, so check the maker’s own fitment before buying. On 31 of the 490 verified forks in this catalog. Applies to 1 of 3 variants.

    The checker compares the dimensions listed in what we check, and what we don’t. “No conflicts found” means no conflict among those dimensions — not a guarantee that a build works. Errors mean it won’t fit; warnings mean it works but check; infos are notes.

    1 further field the checker looks for is not published by Shimano, so we leave it blank rather than estimate it, and that check stays silent on this front rotor. It is thickness. Each is recorded as “not stated by the maker (not checked)”.

    Checked against

    The checker ran this model against every verified part below that it has a slot for, the same way it checks a build in the builder. What follows is the verdict it actually produced for that specific pairing — not a recommendation, and not a guarantee any of these parts fits your own bike.

    6 of 1861 counterparts with a page of their own that the checker actually probed this model against, in alphabetical order by brand and model — never by price, popularity or the verdict itself.
