I have just spent the last 45 min going through the forums before posting here and could not find the answer I am looking for.

I have a 2020 kenevo (180 boxxer) running Saint brakes. I am about to buy a Hope 220mm rotor and am completely confused as to which adapter to use. I think the shimano 180 PS adapter is the one but would appreciate if one of the forum experts could confirm.

Bonus question: what adapter do I need to run a 220mm rotor in the back (Saint brakes)

One more thing: why do you consider 220mm rotor on rear wheel? IMHO 220 is way overkill for the rear wheel, 200 or even 180mm on the back should do the job just fine ...

I am a pretty heavy guy and even with Saints have yet to be totally satisfied with braking performance. Hoping that the 220s will do the trick.

I'm running magura's 220 front and rear with saints . Lots of modulation ( saints are really on/off on small rotors ) and heat dissipation is awesome ... go for it !!

In case you have some doubt about clearance ... In the rear there are more that 3 mm of clearance on the left side arm so you're completely fine ( the saint caliper have only 1,5 mm of lateral clearance ... so the caliper will always block the disk before hitting the arm in case of deformation)

Do you have a link for the hope 220 rotor?
I didn't realise hope did a 220mm I have a hope 225mm but thats on a trek powerfly. Use the std 200 on rear, I'm over 110kg the larger rotor does hold in there for longer.
