Conti First With High Performance Brakes for MB

Allentown, PA  June 4, 2019 – Continental Commercial Vehicles & Aftermarket is first to market with a new high-performance disc brake rotor for popular Mercedes-Benz applications.

The new ATE Rotor features an improved version of the same two-piece pot and friction ring construction as the original, patented two-piece Mercedes-Benz design. It meets OE specifications for fit, form, and function, and is officially certified as a direct replacement for front axle rotors on Mercedes-AMG C43 and E43, as well as CLS and GLC models of higher performing classes. ATE replacement rotor applications are also available for popular E-Class models.

To help make installation easier, the ATE Two-Piece Mercedes-Benz Rotor comes with a plastic screw to avoid over-torque and a smaller fixing hole that helps secure the rotor in place while it is being installed.

According to Dan Caciolo, Head of Product Management for Continental Independent Aftermarket Powertrain & Brake Systems, “Continental is first to market and the only aftermarket supplier of a high quality, direct OE replacement for the Two-Piece Mercedes-Benz Disc Brake Rotor for high performance Mercedes Benz applications. Our ATE Rotor also meets ECE Regulation 90, a strict testing protocol required for replacement brake parts.”
