According to the product specialist
Pros
-
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. |
These brakes provide good braking power in all conditions. |
The double pistons further increase braking power. |
Cons
-
Not suitable for rougher Enduro action. |
These brakes are heavier than the XT single piston brakes. |
