What is the difficulty you are facing?
What are the rotor choices you have considered?
Can you/ Do you want to manufacture your own brake disks?
What are the calculations you have done so far?

I can not tell you which rotor to use. That is not the point of the competition. The entire point of the competition is to learn to Engineer!

Select the disc. Get the forces on your wheel from the suspension system. Make sure they give you the right rolling radius and not the wheel radius. Once you have all this, you can start the rotor calculations. You need a stock disc, probably from a Pulsar or Discover.
