At Escapa , we offer the best brakes for your MTB from Shimano. The Shimano XT Rear Disc Brake Kit (4-Piston) —arguably Shimano’s best and most versatile brake—is also becoming a class leader in its M8120 version. Thanks to its wide range of applications and reliability, it’s the top choice for many cyclists.
Thanks to Servo Wave technology, the brake excels with quick response and a bite point that’s very easy to control. Bleeding is very easy using the one-way bleed system, but it’s generally only necessary when shortening the brake line. The new caliper layout frees up some space on the handlebars—for example, for remote shifters. Additionally, stiffness has been significantly improved.
The ergonomically shaped levers are easy to operate with one or two fingers and can be adjusted for reach without tools. Shimano shift levers with I-Spec EV mounts can be attached directly to the brake levers, eliminating the need for an additional clamp for the shift levers.
The Deore XT caliper is the solution to all braking problems. The 4-piston version delivers powerful stopping power but can be modulated very precisely when paired with the BL-M8100 brake lever. The design is engineered for rapid heat dissipation. This can be further enhanced by using ICE-Tech brake pads with cooling fins. This means that even the longest high-altitude descents are a breeze.
Installation is very easy thanks to the rear-mount design, and maintenance is a breeze with the one-way bleeding system.
