The alloy Shimano Deore XT BL-M8200 brake lever has been refined with evolved ergonomics and the human hand in mind, delivering a powerful pull with consistent lever feel and modulation for precise control. A new closer pivot point follows the natural arc of your finger, while the dialed reach adjust puts the rider in a natural position to attack technical sections of trail. Redesigned Servo Wave optimizes the power curve and manages pad-to-rotor friction throughout the lever pull for better balanced braking, while Shimano's new low viscosity mineral oil keeps power consistent over a wider range of temperatures.
The 4-piston, 2-piece Shimano Deore XT BR-M8220 caliper is the strongest in the M8200 family, made to increase power, consistency, and control. New, low viscosity oil keeps the M8220 brakes' bite point consistent in all trail and weather conditions, and new brake pads eliminate rattling noise caused by vibration. Increased power and consistency give riders pin-point control on rough trails.
Main features:
- Caliper Customization: Pair the BL-M8200 with the M8220 Enduro caliper for high stopping power and control in rough terrain, or the M8200 XC calipers for a more weight-conscious set-up.
- Consistent Brake Control: Smooth Servo Wave Action optimizes the power curve and manages pad-to-rotor friction throughout the lever pull for better balanced braking, while new low viscosity mineral oil keeps power consistent over a wider range of temperatures.
- Durability: BL-M8200's alloy lever blade utilizes Shimano's tried and true stamping process.
- Evolved Ergonomics: New lever shapes and pivot points and improved reach adjust make the BL-M8220 a comfortable fit for all types of riders.
- Tidy Cable Routing: Updated cable routing on the BL-M8200 creates a clean aesthetic.
- Updated Seals and Low Viscosity Oil: A reliable bite point in all temperatures and trail conditions.
- Predictable Power: DH-capable power curve that has been perfected for the rigors of enduro racing and all-day trail riding.
- Heat Dissipation: Resin or metal pads, finned or non-finned, allow riders to tune their precise brake feel when paired with Shimano rotors.
- Rattle-Free: Revised pad and oval mount eliminate unnecessary noise.
