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. 5820 produced no finding of any kind; that is SM-RT86 203mm (6-bolt). SM-RT86 160mm (6-bolt) clears 5545. Each variant produces 12 to 344 distinct errors and 0 to 3 distinct warnings.
Will not fit
- Will not fiterror · Front WheelFront rotor: a 6-bolt rotor does not mount on a Center Lock front hub as it is - the two use different rotor interfaces. The part that bridges them is a Center Lock adapter, and the ones makers publish fit one-piece rotors only. A shim or adapter may make other sizes or standards work, but that is a modification, not a fit. On 61 of the 270 verified front wheels in this catalog. Applies to all 3 variants.
- Will not fiterror · Front HubFront rotor: a 6-bolt rotor does not mount on a Center Lock front hub as it is - the two use different rotor interfaces. The part that bridges them is a Center Lock adapter, and the ones makers publish fit one-piece rotors only. A shim or adapter may make other sizes or standards work, but that is a modification, not a fit. On 16 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.

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.
