Shimano XT M8120 Trail

These Shimano XT Trail M8120 brakes are developed specifically for Trail and Enduro use and feature Shimano's Ice technology. This technology guarantees effective heat dissipation, so that even in the most extreme conditions you still have sufficient stopping power. The brake pads and disc brake rotors are equipped with cooling fins, and the choice of materials also decreases heat build-up. In addition, the double pistons provide twice as much braking power, making a challenging trail a lot easier for you!

I-Spec EV system for full adjustability
These Shimano XT M8120 disc brakes can be fully adjusted to your preferences. They feature Shimano's I-Spec EV mounting system, which allows you to put the brake and gear levers in your preferred positions. Another advantage is that you only need one clamp to mount the gear and brake levers. Moreover, there are options on the brake lever to customise the distance between the brake lever and the handlebars.

Servo Wave technology for improved modulation
The Shimano Servo Wave technology in these XT M8120 brakes makes the brakes travel a relatively long distance in the first stage of the braking movement, leaving plenty of room for modulation and a refined brake feel in the second stage of the brake lever retraction. This not only increases braking power, but also allows for high precision braking!

No air in the system due to the one-way bleeding method
The Shimano XT M8120 brakes have an optimised brake fluid flow thanks to their unidirectional ventilation method. This prevents air getting into the hydraulic system, which not only benefits braking performance but also makes clean, trouble-free bleeding possible.

Adapters for brake calipers
If you switch to a different brand of disc brakes or a different size of disc brake rotors, you will need a specific adapter between the frame and the caliper.
These adapters can be found here.
