Description
The SHIMANO SAINT M820 Front Brake is the preferred choice of Gravity cyclists, offering ultimate braking power and nuanced modulation in all conditions.
Designed for rough terrain, it is equipped with textured BL-M820 levers with Reach Adjust reach adjustment and pad contact adjustment, as well as I-SPEC B compatibility. This adjustment allows the distance between the grip and the lever to be adapted, suiting all hand sizes and riding preferences for optimal braking.
This hydraulic disc brake features a rigid 4-piston ceramic calliper and ICE TECHNOLOGIES technology, which reduces heat build-up for consistent braking, avoiding fade during intense and prolonged descents. The SERVOWAVE action enables rapid pad contact with the rotor, then multiplying braking power for increased control with less lever movement.
Its robust construction and advanced features make it an essential choice for Downhill and demanding disciplines, ensuring safe and high-performing braking.

Good brakes for downhill
"Nothing more to say—easy to install and bleed. It stops hard, but I find the lever travel a bit long despite the available adjustment."
Great brakes and a killer look
"I received my new Saints brakes quickly to replace my seized SLX brakes and installed them right away. I bled the system because the lever was hitting the end of its travel on the handlebar. After bleeding, the performance wasn't always great: the lever travel was too long. After doing some research online, I flushed oil through the closed-loop caliper to bring the pistons closer together. Since then, performance has been outstanding. After a very short break-in period, paired with my RT86 rotors, they brake incredibly hard. As for the price: well, that’s the price of quality ;-)"
Opinion
"Excellent brake, high quality, but you'll need to cut the hose because it's too long."

"The best brakes on the market: power and endurance."
The Best in Braking
"It's a real workhorse—absolutely top-notch in tough conditions. It brakes consistently, and the modulation is just wonderful. I highly recommend it, even if it is a bit pricey."
. . . In a velvet glove.
"For someone who hasn't mastered all the ins and outs of riding but occasionally ventures down treacherous descents, these brakes provide a sense of security and, when used properly, make the ride less likely to end in an accident."
Nothing
"Very good brakes with metal pads; otherwise, easy to bleed"
top-notch brakes
"A very powerful and durable brake, ideal for downhill riding. Easy to install and bleed (be sure to have the Shimano kit and funnel on hand, along with some brake fluid in case an air bubble gets in). Wear and tear is very reasonable."
What a great brake!
"I can confirm that its reputation is well-deserved. It really is a brake that stops the car firmly yet smoothly—exactly what I was looking for. Just make sure to break it in properly at first."
