Shimano Deore BR-M6120 Disc Brake J-Kit

Deore BR-M6120 disc brake by Shimano - more pistons, more brake power

The Shimano Deore BR-M6120 disc brake features a 4-piston brake caliper which provides the most powerful braking power in Enduro and trail use. On the lever side there is a 2-finger brake lever made of aluminium, whose reach can be easily adjusted to the rider's hand. In addition, the Servo-Wave construction helps to control the braking force. A split clamp is available for mounting the brake lever, which can also be combined with a suitable shifter via the I-Spec EV interface. BL-M6100 has been equipped with an extra support point on the handlebars, which gives more control and stability. Funnel bleeding and One-Way Bleeding technology, which prevents air bubbles from remaining in the caliper, make maintenance easier. As a J-Kit, this brake is delivered in such a way that you can easily mount it, even if the brake hose is routed inside your bike.

Technology:

Servo Wave
Shimano Servo Wave technology optimises the travel of your brake levers. During the braking process, the brake pads are guided quickly to the brake rotor with very short lever travel. The greater part of the lever travel is reserved for the actual braking force. In this way, you can apply your braking power in a more targeted manner and use it more effectively.

I-Spec EV
I-Spec EV describes a variant of the connection between brake lever and shift lever on Shimano MTB derailleurs. This type of mounting allows the shifter to be adjusted both horizontally and vertically in relation to the brake lever, and ensures a tidy cockpit by reducing the number of clamps required. Compared to I-Spec and I-Spec II, I-Spec EV offers a much wider adjustment range. 14 mm adjustment range the longitudinal direction and up to 60° rotation allow an optimal ergonomic adjustment to your riding style, your sitting position and your anatomy.

One Way Bleeding
One Way Bleeding is a technique used on Shimano calipers that facilitates brake bleeding. The hose routing has been optimised so that no air bubbles remain in the brake calliper. In combination with the funnel, the brake can be bled cleanly and easily.

J-Kit
J-Kit is a simple line connection system for hydraulic brakes from Shimano, so that you can install your brakes quickly and easily. The brake hose does not come connected to the brake to facilitate routing of the hose in the frame. The brake hose is already filled with oil in the J-Kit and sealed with a thin membrane. There is a small pin in the J-Kit brake lever that pierces this diaphragm during assembly to allow oil to flow.
