Description

The SHIMANO XT M8020 Rear Brake returns to its roots by offering a 4-piston calliper, increasing braking power by 20% compared to the 2-piston XT calliper. Versatile, it is equally suited to demanding Cross-Country and committed All Mountain/Enduro riding.

The robust aluminium calliper adds only around thirty grams compared to the previous model. The ceramic pistons ensure formidable efficiency, while the ONE WAY BLEEDING bleed system with banjo fitting simplifies maintenance.

The aluminium lever, identical to the previous version, offers an ergonomic "2-finger" design with a tool-free adjustable reach. The SERVOWAVE technology guarantees a short stroke for near-instant contact with the disc, ensuring excellent responsiveness. This brake combines performance, lightness and reliability to meet the demands of discerning cyclists.

╝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 calliper and a pre-fitted olive, for quick and easy installation
► I-SPEC II: Simple structure with a narrow clamp band for the brake lever, offering more handlebar space and a clean look
► REACH ADJUST: The brake lever with reach adjustment allows you to set the distance between the grip and the lever, adapting to all hand sizes and riding preferences for optimal braking and gear shifting
► SERVOWAVE ACTION: The SERVOWAVE lever enables rapid pad contact with the rotor, then multiplies braking power for increased control with less lever movement
► 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
► ICE TECHNOLOGIES: Shimano ICE TECHNOLOGIES components reduce heat build-up, ensuring consistent braking and preventing fade during intense and prolonged descents╔

the must-have

"As a replacement for the original Shimano Deore on my Scapel, as they say, 'it's a no-brainer'—once the pads are broken in, the performance, feel, and adjustability are all top-notch."

The Shimano Deore brake

"The Shimano Deore XT 4-piston brake is really great. I use it on my DH bike and it works really well."

The Best in Braking

"I bought these brakes to replace my Magura MT5s, which were poorly made and failed after just six months on my AE enduro bike. The braking performance of the M8020s is incredibly precise, and Shimano has never let me down."

Tomato01 (5/5)

So far, so good

"After a few rides, these brakes are working properly. Shimano has kept the ceramic pistons they introduced on the M8000 to fix the issue with the original pistons. Otherwise, they’re good brakes with a very nice feel, though they lack a bit of bite at the beginning of the stroke, and I don’t quite understand how the contact point screw works. I’ll post another review in a few months to confirm my assessment if necessary."
