The Shimano XT BR-M8120 is a four-piston disc brake with organic brake pads specially designed for enduro and trail riding. The brake calliper is characterized by excellent brake control and a simple connection system. The I-Spec EV compatible BL-M8100 brake lever is mounted at an angle to create an additional contact point. This increases stiffness and provides more direct feedback. Shimano Servo Wave also boosts braking power: more performance is available with shorter idle travel.
The latest generation of the legendary MTB groupset is set to set the standard for mountain bikers worldwide. For almost three decades, the Deore XT has stood for trail-proven durability, reliability and performance. As mountain biking gets faster and the terrain more technical, it is the job of the M8100 components to give riders the confidence they need to perform at their best.
In typical Shimano fashion, the Deore XT naturally also incorporates the innovations of the high-end XTR parts. Accordingly, Micro Spline and Hyperglide+ are on board the new 12-speed groupset
