Shimano Saint BL-M820-B Brake Lever
The Saint BL-M820-B brake lever by Shimano - full control on the descent
The Shimano Saint BL-M820-B brake lever offers top performance for tough Downhill and Freeride use. With its ergonomic, anti-slip 2-finger lever, it always lies comfortably in the hand. The Servo Wave technology ensures that the applied force is optimally converted into braking performance and that full control is maintained even on difficult downhill sections. Thanks to I-Spec (B) compatibility, the Saint brake lever can also be combined with a matching shifter to save space.

Technology:
Servo WaveShimano 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
I-Spec enables the connection between the brake lever and shift lever on MTB derailleurs from Shimano. The main advantages are a cleaner look at the cockpit, more space on the handlebars and, of course, weight savings.
Note from the manufacturer:
For brake levers with I-Spec B (as of 2014), there is initially no compatibility with shift levers with the old I-Spec mount. However, these can be made compatible with I-Spec brake levers using I-Spec adapters (SM-SL98-B for XTR, SM-SL78-B for XT and SLX, SM-SL82-B for Saint).Manufacturer Numbers:
