Description

The SHIMANO XT M8100 Rear Brake combines light weight and stopping power, ideal from cross-country to All Mountain/Trail. The BL-M8100 lever offers intuitive modulation, allowing cyclists to explore their limits with confidence. Its optimised position and refined ergonomics, with I-SPEC EV technology, ensure intuitive and versatile braking suited to all terrains.

The M8100 calliper, despite being lightweight, delivers reliable stopping power in all conditions. It is 10% stiffer than the M8000, even at high temperatures, with rapid brake engagement thanks to a shorter stroke. Tool-free reach and stroke adjustment allow total adaptability for every rider.

The rapid piston return and twin-piston design offer superior modulation for better control. Mounting is quick and easy thanks to the banjo-type connection and internal cable routing, making this pair of brakes a high-performing and practical choice for demanding cyclists.

An excellent choice for versatile riding!

superbes freins VTT

"acheté pour remplacer des Formula Rx sur mon VTT XC secondaire. Ces freins sont un régal : freinage puissant, dosage facile. Petit bémol pour ce kit: le petit tube métallique du bout de durite est déjà installé. Par conséquent, quand on recoupe la durite il faut l’extraire avant de pouvoir le réinsérer dans la durite raccourcie. En plus, il y une pellicule de colle dessus pour boucher le trou. OK, ça garde l’huile dans la durite, mais il n’est pas évident de l’élever sans laisser des résidus qui risquent ensuite de se balader dans le circuit. J’aurais préféré que la durite soit scellée avec un bouchon jetable, et que le tube soit joint à part pour une insertion après coupe à la bonne longueur."
