Description

The SHIMANO XT M8100 Front Brake combines light weight and stopping power, ideal from cross-country to All Mountain/Trail. The BL-M8100 lever offers intuitive modulation, allowing cyclists to push 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, although lightweight, delivers 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 allow total adaptability for every rider.

The fast piston return and two-piston design offer superior modulation for better control. Installation is quick and easy thanks to the banjo connection and internal cable routing, making this pair of brakes a high-performance and practical choice for demanding cyclists.

An excellent choice for versatile riding!

Frein comme prévu

"En remplacement de la pièce d'origine ok. Par contre contraint d'acheter un j-kit car levier seule introuvable."

— Walker64 (5/5)

Super produit

"Freinage puissant et bien dosable, après un détour chez Sram je reviens chez Shimano le meilleur rapport qualité finition puissance prix et facilité de mise en oeuvre"

— Rvdn (5/5)

Xt 2 pistons

"Meilleur rapport qualité prix depuis longtemps touché, puissance, maintenance, remplacement des plaquettes. . ."

— Markus (5/5)

Frein puissant, utilisation tres agreable.

"Très satisfait , installation très facile à réaliser en suivant les explications ( je n'ai pas eu a recouper la gaine car la longueur de gaine etait compatible avec mon vtt). Ne pas oublier de maintenir la poignée fermement tout en positionnant le bouchon jaune vers le haut avant de l'oter. Continuer à maintenir la poignee tout en introduisant la gaine dans l'orifice (sans oter la membrane qui assure l'étanchéité de la gaine). Installation terminée ce frein assure une grosse puissance de freinage facile à doser. Poignée tres agreable . Deux doigts suffisent pour un freinage au top."

— Anonymous (5/5)

Parfait

"Facile à monter. Purge non nécessaire. Freine fort avec un seul doigt, une fois les plaquettes rodées. Bref, je suis ravi !"

— Oliveraie34 (5/5)
