Description

Description

The Shimano MT501 + MT520 MTB disc brakes are powerful brakes with great quality in this price segment. The brakes feature technologies that you also see in higher-end Shimano SLX and XT braking systems, such as Servo Wave. Servo Wave provides a fast but gradual and powerful braking moment. As a result, you won't feel your brake pads bite very much and engage unevenly with the rotors. With a strong 4-piston design, the Shimano MT501 + MT520 hydraulic disc brakes promote the cyclist's confidence and enjoyment. Suitable for Trail and Enduro disciplines. Equipped with an I-SPEC II shifter mounting.

Technology

Excellent braking power and modulation thanks to Servo-Wave Technology
These Shimano MT501 + MT520 Disc brakes have high braking power and good modulation. This good modulation is achieved with Shimano's Servo Wave technology. This means that the pistons move towards the rotors faster at the beginning of the braking movement than when the pads are closer to the rotors. This allows you to better dose the braking force and you will go down the trails with more control.
