  • Publication number: 20240140501
    Abstract: A brake disc includes an annular disc body and fins. The fins are radially disposed on a back surface of the disc body. At least one of the fins have a bolt hole at a central portion of the fin in a radial direction of the disc body. The disc body includes an inner circumferential portion. The inner circumferential portion is positioned inward from the bolt hole in the radial direction. The inner circumferential portion decreases in thickness as the inner circumferential portion extends inward in the radial direction. The fins each include a top surface and a convex portion. The convex portion protrudes inward from an imaginary plane in the radial direction. The imaginary plane passes an end portion of the top surface and an inner circumferential edge of the back surface.
