If it's a disc brake bike, then Rotor is another name for the brake disc.

If it's a BMX rotor may be another name for gyro / detangler - the thingy that lets you spin the bars on a brake-equipped bike w/o making a mess of the brake wires.

Is a PRK 18 BMX 2010 a racing bike?

It's more like a kid's street bike. It's not a freestyle bike because it doesn't have any platforms and no front brake. It's not really a racing bike because it has a Gyro rotor, although there's nothing really stopping you from using it in a race. Another thing about the bike is the wheel size is an odd ball 18" (as opposed to 20").

Why will the rotor of a wound-rotor motor not turn if the rotor circuit is left open with no resistance connected to it?

Why does a typical small helicopter with a single rotor have a second small rotor on its tail?

The small rotor on the tail, called the tail rotor, counteracts the torque produced by the main rotor of the helicopter. Without the tail rotor, the helicopter would spin uncontrollably in the opposite direction of the main rotor. The tail rotor helps maintain the helicopter's balance and heading.


How can you tell if your mountain bike rims are disc brake ready?
