Great upgrade for my bike

- Ronald, 29 January, 2023

Had these slx m7120 mounted on the front because my original tektro set sucked. Well thought and figured out, the slx m7120 front with 203 mm disc and slx m7100, rear with 180 mm disc. All in all a top improvement it sits on a heavier emtb and after several rides really super satisfied brakes top and hard (if needed) and super doseable never have fear of locking. Ordering from mantel is also top, ordered day after neatly delivered.

Pros & Cons

Brakes hard (203 mm disc mounted)
Good dosage
Looks very nice
Nicely finished
J-kit Mounting without bleeding did not succeed
Automatic translation

5 / 5

Good braking performance, at a fair price.

I bought this brake to replace my broken SRAM Guide RS and have to say that it does a much better job. It brakes on the spot without you having to pump the lever or the like, and it is relatively affordable compared to other products with similar performance. A very good brake for enduro and trail use. I would buy it again just like this.

Pros & Cons

Braking power
Pressure point
Price-performance
Automatic translation

Excellent Brake, but wandering bite point can be unnerving.

Great power and modulation, excellent value for money. I really love the lever shape and feel of these brakes and its safe to say you get a lot more for your money with Shimano vs Sram. The only problem I have noticed is the wandering bite point which sometimes feels like your brake has suddenly lost all fluid, but you just have to pull the lever further. I hear this is a common complaint from Shimano brakes but not one they've ever admitted to.

Pros & Cons

Lever shape is perfect
Look ace!
Modulation
Power
wandering bite point.
you cant get 180mm post to 203mm adapters!
