Pros & Cons
Pros & Cons
- This is the most powerful brake in the XT line-up: it maximises power, consistency and control.
- The improved brake lever ergonomics ensure the brake lever is exactly where you would expect it to.
- The brake uses the LowVisc mineral oil, which ensures consistent braking power regardless of weather conditions and descent length.
- The new brake pad fit eliminates rattle and ensures the pad is always in the right place.
- This set is heavier than the XT M8200 cross-country set.

The XT M8220 brake set is ideal for Trail and Enduro use. The caliper uses 4 pistons and the brake utilises the new LowVisc mineral oil, ensuring consistent and powerful braking.
BL-M8220 brake lever
The brake lever shares the exact same technology as the XTR brake lever but uses materials that are just slightly less fancy. The body of the lever is identical to the XTR lever's, except that the XT brake does not have a carbon lever and is, therefore, a bit heavier. As the redesigned SERVO WAVE technology reduces friction of the brake lever, you benefit from an optimal power curve. This means you can brake quickly and effectively without losing power. The new low-viscosity mineral oil ensures that braking power remains consistent regardless of temperature or terrain.
BR-M8220 caliper
The BR-M8220 caliper is the most powerful in the M8200 series, designed for maximum control and consistency on any trail. The four-piston caliper provides extra power, ideal for tricky and steep descents. The brakes have a DH power curve, optimised for Enduro riding. Thanks to the updated mineral oil composition, the caliper's bite point is always in the same place, increasing confidence.

Fully customisable thanks to I-Spec EV
These Shimano XT M8220 disc brakes are fully customisable. Using Shimano's I-Spec EV mounting system, they allow you to adjust the position of the brake lever and the shifter completely to your liking. An additional advantage is that you only need one clamp to mount the shift and brake levers. Plus, on the brake lever there are options for customising the distance between the brake lever and the handlebars.
