Xt +xtr ice tech rotors are not up for tandem mountain use. The alu between the rotor melts at high temperatures. Seen myself on halfbikes on 2000 altimeter single track descent. The heavier the rotors the better.
Even 220 rotors with 4 pot brakes get too hot on singletrack downhills if you do not stop to let the brakes cool down. Rotors bent, pads glaze, hoses can melt. I use an extra magura hs33 in the rear with andra vbrake rim. This helps to dissipate heat better.
