A brake rotor includes a disc-shaped carrier and friction rings arranged on or on top of the carrier, so that the friction rings and carrier form a single piece construction. The carrier and friction rings are made from carbon/carbon materials and ceramic materials respectively. The carrier has a hat-shaped cross-sectional shape with a flanged outer edge and the friction rings are attached to each side of the flanged edge of the carrier. The brake rotor may be directly mounted onto the wheel flange via the carrier using bolts.

[ We claim:] [1.] A brake rotor substantially eliminating umbrella distortion, comprising:at least one friction ring comprising a friction material selected from fiber reinforced ceramic materials, anda hat-shaped carrier comprising a carbon/carbon material,wherein the coefficient of thermal expansion of the carbon/carbon material of the carrier is substantially the same as the coefficient of thermal expansion of the friction material of the at least one friction ring, wherein the carbon/carbon material and the friction material are different materials,wherein the hat-shaped carrier and the at least one friction ring are immovably attached to each other, and wherein umbrella distortion during operation is substantially eliminated.
