The M8120 version of what is probably the best and most versatile brake from Shimano is also a pioneer in its class. Its wide range of applications and reliability make it the first choice for many bikers.
Thanks to Servo Wave technology, the brake shines with a fast response and a very easy to control pressure point. Bleeding is child's play with one-way bleeding, but is usually only necessary when shortening the brake line. The new arrangement of the clamp frees up some space on the handlebars, for example for remote levers. It has also significantly increased stiffness.
The ergonomically shaped levers can be easily operated with one or two fingers and the reach can be adjusted without tools. The Shimano shift levers with I-Spec EV mount can be attached to the brake levers to save the additional clamp for the levers.
The Deore XT brake calliper is the solution to all braking problems. The 4-piston version delivers brute force, but can be controlled very precisely in combination with the BL-M8100 brake lever. The construction is designed for rapid heat dissipation. This can be further supported by the use of ICE-Tech brake pads with cooling fins. This means that even longer descents in the high mountains are a safe bet.
Installation is extremely easy thanks to the post mount and maintenance is no witchcraft with the one-way bleeding system.
