Stock rotors tolerate daily commuting just fine, but drivers who push harder on the street demand a rotor that stays flat, sheds heat, and keeps pad wear even across every braking event. EBC's USR1309 Ultimax Slotted Rotors deliver exactly that for the 2013-2020 Ford Escape 1.6 Turbo 2WD, engineered for the driver who treats every on-ramp exit as an opportunity.
Progressive slot geometry keeps things quiet and consistent. The narrower multi-slot pattern and the precise progressive angle at which each slot is machined let the rotor run silently while still evacuating gas, water, dirt, and debris from the pad surface. Where aggressive aftermarket rotors introduce unwanted noise, the USR design stays composed under street conditions.
Flat, parallel pad wear is the real performance advantage. Slotted rotors continuously dress the pad face as the wheel turns, preventing the ridges and uneven wear that drilled-only rotors allow to develop. Flat pads against flat rotors means braking force stays predictable and consistent from the first stop to the last, throughout the entire service life of the rotor and pad together.
R90-approved G3000 grey iron blanks set the foundation. EBC builds the USR range from premium G3000 grey iron rotor blanks certified to the R90 standard, the same regulatory benchmark that OEM suppliers must meet in Europe. Precision machining in EBC's own UK and USA facilities, batch metallurgy checks, X-ray inspection, dimensional verification, and balance testing all happen before a rotor ships. That level of in-house quality control is uncommon in the brake category.
Pair with a matching high-friction pad set. EBC's own testing across hundreds of thousands of brake kits confirms that slotted rotors reach their full potential when run alongside a compatible high-friction compound. The USR1309 front rotors slot directly into the Escape's existing caliper bracket with no modification to the hub or knuckle.
Product Benefits
- Progressive Slotting: Angled, narrow slots remove gas, water, and debris while keeping rotor noise to a minimum.
- Parallel Pad Wear: Continuous pad face dressing prevents ridging, maintaining consistent braking feel throughout pad life.
- R90-Certified Blanks: G3000 grey iron blanks meet the same regulatory standard required of OEM brake suppliers.
- UK and USA Manufactured: Precision machined in EBC's own plants, with batch metallurgy, X-ray, balance, and dimensional checks on every production run.
- Direct-Fit Front Fitment: Engineered specifically for the 2013-2020 Ford Escape 1.6 Turbo 2WD front axle position.
- Improved Longevity: Consistent pad and rotor surfaces extend the effective service life of both components when paired with a matched pad compound.
