Description

The Shimano XT BR-M8100 disc brake caliper is a component of Shimano's Deore XT range, renowned for balancing high performance with reliability for mountain biking. This caliper is designed with a 2-piston setup, which is optimized for cross-country riding where efficiency and weight savings are prioritized.

The caliper's superior modulation capability ensures greater control by allowing for quick and precise brake pad retraction, which results in a responsive braking feel. The design includes a banjo-type connection for the hydraulic hose, providing flexible hose routing and a clean setup.

Shimano's One Way Bleeding technology is integrated into the caliper, which streamlines the bleeding process, making maintenance easier and more straightforward by directing air and hydraulic fluid in one direction during the bleeding process.

This post-mount caliper is compatible with systems that use mineral oil as the hydraulic fluid, known for its stability and minimal maintenance requirements. It comes equipped with metallic pads that feature fins, aiding in heat dissipation during intense use to maintain consistent braking performance.

The caliper is crafted to be lightweight, with a weight of approximately 392 grams, and does not include a rotor, allowing riders to select the appropriate rotor size for their specific riding style and conditions.
