Stock rotors on the Escape 1.6T are adequate for daily commuting, but repeated hard stops, spirited mountain runs, or towing loads push them into fade territory fast. EBC's GD1309 GD Sport rotors give the front axle of your 2013-2020 Escape 1.6 Turbo 2WD the thermal headroom and surface geometry to handle real-world heat without compromising pedal feel.
Third-generation slot and dimple geometry. EBC's wide-aperture slots actively draw cool air under the pad-to-rotor interface, pulling heat away from a contact zone that can exceed 1,000 degrees Fahrenheit during hard braking. The same slots evacuate water, dust, mud, and debris from the friction surface, keeping bite consistent whether you are in dry heat or a wet mountain pass.
Dimple drilling without the cracking risk. EBC invented the dimple-drilled rotor in the 1990s as a way to promote pad degassing without cutting through-holes that compromise rotor integrity. Full through-drilling has long been documented to initiate cracks under thermal cycling; the dimple design delivers the degassing benefit while keeping the rotor's structural cross-section intact.
R90-approved blanks, 100% machined in the UK. GD series rotors start from R90-approved blanks, with the majority cast in the EU at ISO and TÜV certified facilities. Every finished rotor passes a 100% runout, metallurgy, and dimensional inspection before slotting, then receives a final balance and runout check before release. A long-lasting silver corrosion-resistant finish protects the rotor body between heat cycles and keeps the assembly looking clean behind the wheel.
