Disc brake Shimano XT BL-M8200/BR-M8220 1000 mm front
Designed with ergonomics and the human hand in mind, the Shimano XT BL-M8200 dual-finger hydraulic brake lever offers a powerful pull with smooth lever feel and modulation for ultimate control when combined with the BR-M8220 four-piston caliper. A new, closer pivot point follows the natural curve of the finger, while the 5-degree up lever and tuned grip width promote a natural position for confidently tackling technical trail sections.
Robust, intuitive and consistent: XT BL-M8200+BR-M8220 4-piston Shimano front disc brake
The redesigned SERVO WAVE system optimizes the frictionless power curve, while the new low-viscosity mineral oil keeps braking performance constant in all temperatures and on all surfaces.
With maximum braking power, consistency and control, the BR-M8220 four-piston hydraulic caliper is the best performing caliper in the Shimano XT M8200 line. New low-viscosity oil keeps the M8220's brake pad contact point constant in all track and weather conditions, and new brake pads eliminate rattling sounds caused by vibration. Increased braking power and consistency combined with quiet operation provide precise handling on demanding tracks.
Since the early 1980s, when DEORE XT first revolutionized mountain biking, SHIMANO has brought fast, reliable shifting, robust drivetrain design and improved braking systems to even more riders with the latest DEORE XT M8200 Di2 components. Following the recent launch of our flagship XTR M9200 race group, DEORE XT takes key technology and design elements from XTR and delivers a robust group designed to withstand the demands of real-world riding and continually redefine what's possible on two wheels.
