Description

The SHIMANO XT M8100 Front Brake combines lightness 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 terrain.

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

The fast piston return and twin-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 pair of brakes a high-performing and practical choice for demanding cyclists.

An excellent choice for versatile riding!

Reviews

Brake as expected

"It works fine as a replacement for the original part. However, I had to buy a J-kit because I couldn't find the lever on its own."

— Walker64 (5/5)

Great product

"Powerful and responsive braking. After a brief stint with SRAM, I'm back with Shimano—the best combination of quality, finish, power, price, and ease of use."

— Best regards (5/5)

Xt 2-piston

"The best value for money I've seen in a long time—power, maintenance, blade replacement..."

— Markus (5/5)

Powerful brakes, very pleasant to drive.

"Very satisfied—installation was very easy to do by following the instructions (I didn't have to cut the hose because the length was compatible with my mountain bike). Don't forget to hold the handle firmly while positioning the yellow cap facing upward before removing it. Continue holding the lever while inserting the hose into the port (without removing the membrane that seals the hose). Once installed, this brake provides powerful braking that’s easy to modulate. Very comfortable lever. Two fingers are all you need for top-notch braking."

— Anonymous (5/5)

Perfect

"Easy to install. No bleeding required. Stops hard with just one finger once the pads are broken in. In short, I'm thrilled!"

— Olive Grove 34 (5/5)

Really touched

"The hose is a bit too long (29-inch fork and 670mm-wide handlebars). You'll need to shorten the hose."

— Me25 (5/5)

super-powerful top-of-the-line brake

"Top-notch Shimano brakes—super powerful brakes that let you lock the wheels with just one finger without straining. The lever adjustment is excellent, and adjusting the brake pads is very convenient. Your finger doesn't slip off the brake lever at all—it has a great grip. Quick and easy to install."

— Rud. G. (5/5)
