Description
SHIMANO Deore XT disc brake 4-piston BL-M8100 + BR-M8120 | Front wheel
Probably the best and most versatile brake from Shimano is also a pioneer in its class in the M8120 version. Due to the wide range of applications and the reliability, it is the first choice for many bikers.
Thanks to Servo Wave technology, the brake shines with a quick response and a very easy-to-dose 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 means that some space is gained on the handlebar, e.g. for remote levers. In addition, the rigidity could be increased significantly.
The ergonomically shaped levers can be easily operated with one or two fingers and their reach can be adjusted without tools. On the brake levers can Shimano shifter with I-Spec EV mount be attached to the additional clamp lever for the save.
The Deore XT brake caliper is the solution to all braking problems. The 4-piston variant packs a lot, but can be dosed very precisely in combination with the BL-M8100 brake lever. The construction is designed for rapid heat dissipation. This can be further supported by using ICE-Tech brake pads with cooling fins. This means that longer runs in the high mountains are also a safe bet.
Attachment is very easy thanks to the postmount mount and maintenance is no rocket science with the one-way bleeding system.
