The Lamborghini Aventador is the pinnacle of exotic performance — a V12 masterpiece defined by outrageous power, razor-sharp aerodynamics, and unmistakable presence. Yet even perfection has room for improvement. One area where the Aventador’s factory setup shows its age is in its carbon ceramic braking system.
While Lamborghini equipped the Aventador with “CCM” carbon ceramic rotors from the factory, these represent first-generation carbon composite technology — lighter than steel, yes, but nowhere near the thermal capability, material consistency, or longevity of today’s Gen 3 carbon ceramic brakes.
At Triton Motorsports, we design and manufacture direct replacement CCB-H carbon ceramic brake rotors for the Lamborghini Aventador, offering massive gains in heat resistance, pad compatibility, and service life — all without requiring any modification to your OEM calipers or hardware.
The Problem with Factory Aventador CCM Rotors
The Aventador’s original CCM (Carbon Ceramic Matrix) rotors were cutting-edge over a decade ago — but in high-performance applications, technology evolves fast. CCMs use short, chopped carbon fibers mixed into a resin and then baked in a silicon carbide matrix.
This process yields a rotor that’s lighter than iron but still limited by:
Lower thermal conductivity – heat saturation during extended track use.
Surface glazing – reduced bite after repeated high-temperature cycles.
Material porosity – leading to uneven wear and eventual delamination.
Aging of the core mass – microstructural degradation after long-term heat exposure.
These factors result in reduced braking consistency, especially on vehicles that see aggressive road or track use.
In short: the CCMs that once defined performance braking are now outdated by modern carbon-ceramic standards.
The Triton CCB-H Advantage
Triton Motorsports’ CCB-H (Carbon Ceramic Brake – High Density) rotors are designed as direct replacements for Lamborghini Aventador factory CCM rotors. No modifications, no adapters, no compromises.
These rotors are built using third-generation carbon ceramic technology, featuring:
Long continuous carbon fibers (not chopped) woven into a 3D matrix.
High-temperature sintering for superior molecular bonding.
Homogeneous SiC distribution for consistent surface integrity.
High-density core for greater structural stability and heat tolerance.
Each disc is rated for temperatures exceeding 1,800°F (≈1,000°C) — far beyond what factory CCMs can endure without glazing or microcracking.
Key Benefits:
Stronger and denser than OEM CCMs.
Shorter stopping distances thanks to more consistent friction.
Reduced fade in extended high-speed braking.
Significantly longer lifespan with reduced wear.
Direct bolt-on installation using factory calipers and hardware.
Engineering Highlights: The Science Behind CCB-H
The foundation of Triton’s carbon ceramic technology is in its continuous fiber construction. Instead of relying on fragmented fibers like the older CCMs, the CCB-H rotor uses woven carbon filaments arranged in a 3D lattice.
When infiltrated with silicon carbide (SiC) at ultra-high temperatures, this structure creates a dense, reinforced composite capable of withstanding:
Extreme temperature gradients without warping.
Repeated heat cycles without delamination.
Uniform expansion characteristics across the rotor surface.
The result is a rotor that maintains surface flatness and mechanical integrity even after multiple track sessions — something first-generation carbon composites simply cannot achieve.
Performance Comparison: CCM vs. CCB-H
Triton CCB-H rotors aren’t just better — they’re evolutionary. They bridge the gap between OEM ceramics and motorsport-spec carbon-carbon systems, offering the best of both worlds: durability and usability.
Thermal Stability and Pad Compatibility
The Aventador’s V12 power demands immense stopping power, particularly during high-speed deceleration. The Triton CCB-H rotors use enhanced thermal conductivity materials that evenly distribute heat across the braking surface, minimizing hotspots and reducing pad glazing.
Our rotors are fully compatible with OEM-spec carbon ceramic pads as well as upgraded compounds, providing a consistent friction coefficient across the entire temperature spectrum.
This ensures:
Predictable pedal feel lap after lap.
Reduced pad wear thanks to uniform thermal loading.
Superior bite in both cold and hot braking conditions.
Weight Savings and Vehicle Dynamics
While both CCM and CCB-H rotors are lightweight compared to steel, Triton’s advanced construction allows further reduction in rotational mass.
Each disc is approximately 1–1.5 lbs lighter per corner than the OEM CCM equivalent — a meaningful drop in unsprung and rotational weight.
Reducing unsprung mass improves:
Suspension response – quicker reaction to surface changes.
Cornering grip – more consistent tire contact.
Acceleration and braking – less inertia to overcome.
This translates directly to improved lap consistency and better vehicle balance under braking — critical for a car as powerful as the Aventador.
Design Precision: Billet Aluminum Hats and Floating System
All Triton carbon ceramic discs feature CNC-machined billet aluminum hats with precision-engineered float assemblies.
Benefits:
Thermal expansion isolation – rotor and hat expand independently, preventing stress fractures.
Reduced NVH (Noise, Vibration, Harshness) – smoother operation under extreme conditions.
Serviceability – replaceable float hardware for long-term maintenance.
Each hat is anodized for corrosion resistance and optimized for thermal management. This modular design allows users to retain the hats while replacing only the discs when needed — reducing long-term cost.
Real-World Application: Track and Road
Our Aventador CCB-H system was tested under both road and track environments to ensure balanced performance.
On the street, drivers benefit from:
Immediate pedal feel.
Low dust and silent operation.
Extended rotor and pad life.
On the track, the system shines under repeated heavy braking, maintaining:
Stable friction coefficient.
Uniform temperature distribution.
No glazing or fade even after extended sessions.
Whether your Aventador is a showpiece or a track-dominating weapon, Triton’s Gen 3 CCB-H rotors are the ideal upgrade for reliability, longevity, and performance.

Triton’s Carbon Ceramic Manufacturing Process
Our Gen 3 CCB-H production involves multi-phase carbonization and SiC infiltration — a proprietary process used only in aerospace and top-level motorsport applications.
Long-Fiber Weaving: Carbon fibers are interlaced into a 3D preform.
Resin Infusion and Carbonization: The structure is heat-treated at 1,000°C to convert resin to carbon.
Silicon Carbide Infiltration: Molten silicon reacts with the carbon to form a dense SiC matrix.
Precision Machining and Surface Conditioning: Final geometry and surface texture are CNC-machined for optimal friction properties.
This multi-stage process yields a rotor with exceptional density, surface integrity, and fatigue life — outperforming traditional CCM by measurable margins.
Maintenance and Longevity
A common misconception about carbon ceramics is that they’re fragile or difficult to maintain. In reality, CCB-H systems are designed for longevity when paired with proper pad compounds and driving habits.
Expected lifespan: 100,000+ miles under street conditions.
No rust or corrosion, even under moisture exposure.
Low dust and minimal rotor wear under normal use.
No need for bedding after initial use — surface cures naturally through heat cycles.
When it does come time for replacement, Triton offers rotor-only replacements that reuse the existing hat hardware, keeping long-term maintenance economical.
CCB-H vs Refurbished or Repaired CCMs
Some companies offer refurbished carbon ceramic discs, where the worn surface is stripped and re-coated with new SiC material. While cheaper, this process involves reheating the rotor to extreme temperatures, which reduces core density and can lead to structural weakening.
Refurbishment may save a few dollars short-term, but for a supercar like the Aventador, safety and consistency matter more.
With Triton’s CCB-H system, you’re getting brand-new, full-density discs built from the ground up — not reheated or re-sintered rotors with degraded core mass.
