Shimano Deore XT BL-M8100 + BR-M8120 Enduro / Trail Hydraulic Disc Brake - I-Spec EV - J-Kit - Set RW - black | Special Offer

Shimano Deore XT M8100 - The world is your canvas.

The legendary mtb groupset is poised to set the standard for mountain bikers worldwide once again with its latest generation. For nearly three decades, Deore XT has stood for trailer-tested durability, reliability, and performance. As mountain biking gets faster and the terrain becomes more technical, it’s up to the M8100 components to give riders the confidence they need to perform at their best.

True to Shimano’s tradition, the Deore XT naturally incorporates innovations from the high-end XTR components. Accordingly, Micro Spline and Hyperglide+ are included in the new 12-speed groupset.

The Shimano Deore XT M8100 Enduro brake set consists of the ergonomic BL-M8100 brake lever and the powerful BR-M8120 4-piston brake caliper. Smooth and easy maintenance is ensured by the proven One Way Bleeding system and the Easy Hose Joint System, which makes replacing brake lines significantly easier

J-Kit (Easy Hose Joint System)

On brake systems with a J-Kit brake hose connection, the brake lever features an integrated crimp seal (olive), which makes installing and removing the brake hose considerably easier overall.

Shimano Deore XT BL-M8100 Brake Lever

The clamp on the Shimano Deore XT BL-M8100 brake lever is angled, allowing the outer end of the reservoir to rest directly on the handlebar in a clever design. The two contact points created in this way provide significantly increased stiffness, which ultimately results in more direct feedback and, consequently, greater braking power.

Shimano’s SERVOWAVE technology also enhances braking performance by providing exceptionally precise modulation. Because the brake lever covers a significant portion of the braking travel right at the start of its movement, the brake pads make contact with the rotor more quickly, leaving more lever travel for modulating braking force. Consequently, SERVO WAVE brake systems are characterized by faster response, higher performance, and a shorter dead travel.

Compared to its predecessor, the BL-M8100 is 10% stiffer, even at high temperatures. The brake lever reach can be adjusted directly without additional tools. Thanks to the I-Spec EV design, the Deore XT SL-M8100-I shift levers can be mounted directly onto the brake lever.

Shimano Deore XT BR-M8120 Disc Brake Caliper

With its 4-piston design, the Shimano Deore XT BR-M8120 post-mount brake caliper is ideal for trail and enduro riding. Thanks to accelerated piston return, modulation has been further improved compared to its predecessor, resulting in better braking control. The N03A resin or N04C metal brake pads with Ice-Tech cooling fins, combined with the powerful 4-piston caliper, guarantee exceptionally good deceleration. In addition, the 4-piston design reduces vibration noise from the rotor while increasing braking force by 10% compared to the BR-M8020 brake caliper.
