Kindernay XIV Punch Disc – High-Performance Brake Rotor
- Order number: KN173-Punch
The Punch Disc for the Kindernay XIV internal gear hub (14-speed) sets new standards in stability and heat dissipation. Thanks to the innovative hole pattern and robust construction, it is the ideal choice for demanding MTB riders who prioritize reliability.
Description
- Compatibility: Specifically developed for the Kindernay XIV hub with its unique mounting interface.
- Optimized Finish: Glass-bead blasted for immediate "bite" and a premium look.
- Pad Recommendation: Ideal for use with organic brake pads.
- Documentation: Comprehensive assembly and bed-in instructions are included.
- Customization: Special sizes (different thicknesses or friction ring widths) are available upon request.
Additional Features & Safety
- Heat-treated & Stable: A specialized hardening process ensures an extremely homogeneous material structure, preventing warping even under high thermal loads.
- Ready-to-Ride: The glass-bead blasted surface ensures a significantly reduced bed-in time, giving you full braking performance much faster.
Technical Details
- Maximum Heat Dissipation: The innovative Punch-hole matrix increases the surface area for heat absorption by 30% compared to standard brake discs.
- Reduced Pad Wear: The fine perforations provide optimal support for the brake pads. This prevents the pads from being "pressed into" large cutouts, resulting in a consistent braking feel and significantly longer pad life.
- Massive Construction: With a thickness of 2.15 mm, this disc offers extra material for increased safety and reduced fading.
Technical Specifications & Dimensions
Select the ideal combination for your setup. The friction ring width should be optimally tailored to your brake pads, as the thickness of the disc is a key factor for durability and heat dissipation.

Information for the heat treatment:
For additional stability and strength, all our disc brakes are heat treated. During this process, basic strength in addition to the resilient properties of the material can be improved. As a result, our discs have a very high level of strength, and visibly lower wear, which gives the discs a longer life! In addition, the risk of bending the disc is reduced, so your disc should stay straighter, longer!
These effects are only visible when the disc is installed correctly, and the brake is used properly.
