Description

The SHIMANO XT M8100 Brake Set combines lightness and stopping power, ideal from cross-country to All Mountain/Trail. The BL-M8100 lever offers intuitive modulation, allowing cyclists to push 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, though lightweight, guarantees reliable stopping power in all conditions. It is 10% stiffer than the M8000, even at high temperatures, with quick brake engagement thanks to a shorter stroke. Tool-free reach and stroke adjustment allows complete adaptability for every user.

The quick piston return and two-piston design offer superior modulation for better control. Installation is quick and easy thanks to the banjo-type connection and internal cable routing, making this brake set a high-performance and practical choice for demanding cyclists.

An excellent choice for versatile riding!

I took my time

"I took my time fitting them, but someone used to it can do the job in 30 minutes. I didn't need to refill the oil, the brakes are already full. But take a small bottle of mineral oil just in case. I've always preferred the feel of a single piston, it brakes cleanly, ideal from xc to light enduro."

— Fabien D. (5/5)

Easy to install even with

"Easy installation even with reduced hose length (with dedicated tools) Clean assembly. Powerful brake even without XT discs."

— Gael H. (5/5)
