The Shimano XT BR-M8120 disc brake set with BL-T8100 3-finger brake levers

This version of the Shimano BR-M8120 XT disc brake set, consisting of front and rear brakes, comes with two BL-T8100 3-finger brake levers, which impress with very good operability and braking dosage. They are compatible with I-Spec II shifters, which can be installed on the same mount to save space. The handle width can be adjusted without tools. The BR-M8120 are four-piston calipers specifically designed for enduro and trail riding, featuring excellent brake control and a simple connection system. That way, you can give your full attention to the challenges of the terrain. Organic brake pads with cooling fins are also supplied.

Technology:

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.

I-Spec II
I-Spec II describes a variant of the connection between the brake lever and the shift lever on MTB or, more precisely, flatbar gears from Shimano. This type of mount makes for a tidy cockpit as it reduces the number of clamps needed. On some models it is also possible to adjust the shift lever both horizontally and vertically in relation to the brake lever. Then there is 12 mm of adjustment travel in the longitudinal direction and/or up to 15° of rotation - for optimum ergonomic adaptation to your riding style, seat position and anatomy.

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.
