Description

The SHIMANO SLX M7100 Front Brake delivers consistent braking performance and reliable stopping power in all conditions. The SLX M7100 calliper provides powerful and lightweight braking with reliable stopping power in all conditions, ideal for Cross-Country or Trail.

The fast piston return and banjo-type connection with internal cable routing allow for easy and quick installation. The SLX BL-M7100 lever offers intuitive modulation to push your limits with confidence. Its optimised lever axle position and refined ergonomics deliver smooth and linear braking, enhancing the cyclist's focus and enjoyment.

The brake is 10% stiffer than the M7000, even in high-temperature conditions, and engages faster thanks to a shorter travel. The I-SPEC EV technology enables easy, tool-free installation and adjustment, offering an optimised action configuration and user adaptability.

Informations techniques

╝KEY FEATURES
► J-KIT: The J-Kit system makes it easier to route the brake hose inside the frame, with a simplified connection to the caliper and a pre-fitted olive, for quick and easy installation
► ONE WAY BLEEDING: System designed to prevent air bubbles in the hydraulic circuit, ensuring fast and clean bleeding thanks to a one-way oil path and a funnel-shaped tool
► SERVOWAVE ACTION: The SERVOWAVE lever enables quick pad contact with the rotor, then multiplies braking power for greater control with less lever movement
► Noise Reduction: Less disc oscillation, 10% more power
► Easy Installation: Banjo connection and internal routing for quick setup
► Light and Intuitive Lever: Modulation suited to cross-country, increases focus
► REACH ADJUST: The brake lever with reach adjustment allows the distance between the grip and the lever to be set, adapting to all hand sizes and riding preferences for optimal braking and gear shifting
► I-SPEC EV: The I-SPEC EV mounting standard provides a clean cockpit, adaptable to all riders thanks to a generous adjustment range, improving comfort and focus with an ergonomic design and increased rigidity for optimal control

Good value for money

"Great value for money, excellent delivery. Thanks, Probikeshop. Franck"

front disc brake replacement

"Very high quality, all-metal, easy to assemble, and works right away"

Phlc (5/5)

A brake that offers good value for money

"The braking is sufficient for cross-country riding, and the J-kit is fairly easy to install. However, the brake line is a bit long, even on a 29-inch bike; I didn't shorten it to avoid having to bleed the brakes. We'll have to see how reliable it is over time. It’s a shame there isn’t a shorter, ready-to-use hose available."

Flo356 (4/5)

Excellent value for money

"A high-performance braking system, ideal for upgrading an XC bike with stock brakes that are a bit underpowered. The hose is very long—even for an XL frame—so I had to shorten it by 30 cm. Installation is very straightforward, and the Shimano system is fairly easy to bleed if you have the small Shimano funnel. Note that the mounting system and third mounting point take up quite a bit of space near the handlebar, and unless you have a shifter from the same brand and generation, it will need to be mounted after the brake lever clamp. For some, this might seem like a long way."
