The disc brake systems are widely used in mid-range two-wheelers and are usually placed on their front wheels, and it works in combination with hydraulic/ vacuum brake actuating systems.

Cross Drilled Disc Brake Systems are one of the most common types of disc brake systems used in India. The first time the Cross Drilled Disc Brake System was used in 1960 in racing cars. It has holes cross-drilled on the disk that helps in getting rid of the heat and gas produced by the system while braking and reducing brake fade. There have been some noted cases where the rotor disc has cracked; this could have happened because the holes have weakened the disc surface.

In the Cross-slotted Disc Brake System, shallow channels( slots) are cut onto the surface of the disc; these can be cut at varying widths and also at different angles. These Disc Brake Systems are mostly seen on cruiser bikes like Royal Enfield bikes and Harley Davidson bikes. Cross Slotted Disc Brake Systems are more durable and more effective at dispersing heat built up in the system than Cross Drilled Disc Brake Systems.
In the wave disc Disc Brake Systems, also known as petal Disc Brake Systems the external periphery of the rotor is cut in a wavy manner to provide extra surface area for the brake pads to hold on to the disc during rotation. This wavy design also helps prevent overheating of the rotor. This disc brake system is also lightweight, which helps in higher acceleration rates.
