Abstract
A disc rotor used in a disc brake which generates a vibration having a large component in the axial direction of the disc rotor when a brake pad is pressed against the disc rotor. The disc rotor has a hat portion to be fixed to an axle hub of a vehicle. A sliding portion, which is pressed by a brake pad so as to generate a brake force, is connected to the hat portion via a connecting portion. A plurality of ribs are provided to increase a rigidity of the connecting portion. A low-rigidity portion having a rigidity less than the sliding portion and the connecting portion may be provided between the sliding portion and the connecting portion.
