Shimano XT BR-M8120 Disc Brake 1000mm front

Shimano XT BR-M8120 Disc Brake 1000mm front

The XT BR-M8120 hydraulic 4-piston disc brake with 2-finger brake lever from Shimano fits seamlessly into the line-up of the new XT M8100 component group. Higher braking force with less effort on the fingers and extremely linear response to the lever movement.

4-piston disc brake with excellent braking power: Shimano XT BR-M8120

The new DEORE XT comes with either a two-piston brake for cross-country use or a four-piston brake for trail/enduro use. The new design of the brake lever, which is mounted at an angle to provide two points of support on the handlebars, significantly increasing stiffness, provides more direct feedback and braking performance, which is further enhanced by SERVO WAVE technology. The braking systems are therefore characterized by faster response, higher performance and shorter empty travel.

The original mountain bike group continues its legacy of remaining the standard for mountain bikers everywhere. Nearly three decades in, the DEORE XT brand is defined by its trail-tested durability, reliability and performance. Recognizing that today’s mountain bikers are riding faster and confidently on more technical terrain, the legacy of DEORE XT is more important than ever. In 2019, our pinnacle mountain bike technologies will trickle down to SHIMANO DEORE XT M8100.
