Description

The SHIMANO XT M8120 Rear Brake is designed to deliver consistent braking performance and reliable stopping power in all conditions. Its 4-piston calliper boosts confidence and control on descents, while the lightweight and intuitive BL-M8100 lever enables precise modulation to push your limits with full confidence.

The optimised lever axle position and refined ergonomics, combined with I-SPEC EV technology, deliver intuitive and versatile braking. The system is 10% stiffer than the M8000, even at high temperatures, with rapid brake engagement thanks to a shorter travel.

Tool-free adjustment of reach and travel allows total adaptability for every rider. The fast piston return and four-piston design deliver superior modulation for better control. Installation is quick and easy thanks to the banjo-type connection and internal cable routing, making this brake a high-performing and practical choice for demanding cyclists.

An excellent choice for committed riding, such as Enduro or Trail !

Hello, Probyke. Great equipment,

"Hi Probyke. Great gear, as usual. I can't say the same about the delivery, though—also as usual—but it took a whole week to get my stuff!!!! DPD gets a big fat zero."

TOP

"Replaces the Shimano MT200 brakes. Great brakes with powerful stopping power. Easy to install—no expertise required."

Alsaco (5/5)

Excellent braking

"I just finished the Portes du Soleil ride, and the brakes did their job perfectly. I just find them a bit of a hassle to install if you have a saddle lever trigger and shifters."

Denfer (4/5)

Reliability Efficiency

"Top-notch delivery times, as usual. Shimano brakes are as reliable as ever on steep terrain!"

Witey (5/5)

That really slows you down!

"These are excellent brakes as a replacement for the original Shimano brakes—you can really feel the difference. The feel is perfect, and the modulation is spot-on. They give you a real sense of confidence."
