Shimano’s XT BR-M8000 Disc Brake Caliper with resin pads and fin delivers reliable stopping power for mountain bike cross country and all-mountain riders. Drawing on technology from the top-tier XTR series, the DEORE XT M8000 range offers 11-speed performance and refined braking for demanding trails and race circuits. The hydraulic disc brakes feature a lighter, more compact integrated master cylinder for reduced weight, a streamlined look, and increased handlebar space. Enhanced levers provide improved feedback and control, with high braking force and a short lever pull. Tool-free reach and Free Stroke adjustments remain, while a narrow clamp band allows for greater lever positioning. The Rider Tuned system supports a wide range of rotor sizes and pad options.
