Reviews over the
Shimano XT M8100
4 / 5
Reliable parts, good quality
Always satisfied with Shimano parts. Price-quality generally good. Old bike performs like new again
Pros & Cons
4 / 5
Good value for money
My shifters are M8000 but fit well with this M8100 brake lever, the m8000 adapter to connect the two is eliminated with the m8100. Quality is good and braking power is sufficient, I may need to bleed the rear brake after installation for better performance but otherwise fine
Pros & Cons
4 / 5
Fine but you have to have something there
With no manual, I'll have to wander around the internet. The cable is longer so you need a special cable cutter. And it still needs brake fluid, order bleeding kit with it. If you have it complete, it's pretty easy
Pros & Cons
4 / 5
Progressive and reliable
The XT M8100 brakes are progressive and easy to adjust. I hope the reliability will be better than my old XT (after 2 years loss of pressure in the rear caliper).

Great brakes!
Brakes very well metered while blocking is also good. I used to have Magura MT2 brakes which blocked very quickly. (Until they broke)
