Shimano XT BL-M8200 hydraulic brake lever

The BL-M8200 alloy brake lever has been refined with advanced ergonomics designed for cyclists' hands, offering powerful traction with consistent feel and modulation for precise control. The new pivot point follows the natural arc of the fingers, while precise reach adjustment puts the cyclist in a natural position to tackle technical sections of the trail. The redesigned SERVO WAVE optimises the power curve and manages pad-rotor friction throughout the lever stroke for more balanced braking, while the new low-viscosity SHIMANO mineral oil maintains consistent power over a wider range of temperatures.

Features

• Caliper customisation: Pair the BL-M8200 with the M8220 Enduro caliper for increased braking power and control on rough terrain, or with the M8200 XC calipers for a more weight-conscious set-up.
• Consistent braking control: SERVO WAVE ACTION optimises the power curve and manages pad-rotor friction throughout the lever stroke for more balanced braking, while new low-viscosity mineral oil maintains
• consistent power across a wider range of temperatures.
• Durability: The BL-M8200 alloy lever blade uses Shimano's patented moulding process.
• Advanced ergonomics: The shape of the new levers and pivot points, along with reach adjustment, make the BL-M8200 the most comfortable choice for all types of cyclists.
