Best Answer

It's the portion of the brake rotor that sits on the hub. In a 2-piece rotor design the "hat" will be made of aluminum to reduce weight and heat transfer to the hub/axle. Basically it's the part of the rotor that DOESN'T come in contact with the pads.

What is the difference between stepped hat vs plain hat brake rotors?

Stepped hat rotors are more expensive than plain hat rotors. A stepped hat rotor has a groove in it, known as a heat break or heat shield, that helps distribute the heat away from the hub assembly, reducing the risk of brake failure. This is normally used in cars and trucks that will be towing or doing heavy duty work.
