According to the product specialist
Pros
These brakes have excellent braking power and brake control. |
These brakes are very durable. |
With the available colours you can make your bike look a lot cooler! |
These brakes are light. |
The Shimano XT M8100 MTB brakes are fully customisable. |
The total weight of 573 grams is low for a brake set. |
These Shimano brakes have a sharp bite point, so they engage quickly and strongly. |
This brake is strong and is real easy to apply. |
You can adjust the Bite Point Control and Reach. |
This brake has a stylish design. |
Cons
Adjustment and bleeding requires more time with these brakes than with comparable brakes from other brands. |
Not suitable for rougher Enduro action. |
These brakes are supplied assembled and vented, which means they must be disconnected for frames with internal cable routing. |
