The combination of the BR-M8200 calliper and BL-M8220 DEORE XT lever from Shimano offers an optimal balance of power and weight, suitable for any terrain. The SERVO WAVE ACTION system improves modulation and management of friction between pads and rotor, ensuring smoother, more controlled braking, while the new low-viscosity mineral oil ensures consistent performance across a wide temperature range.
The alloy lever, made using the patented Shimano forming process, is designed for maximum comfort thanks to reach adjustment and new pivot points. The alloy calliper body also ensures high strength and long-term durability.
Features
- Calliper customisation: pair the BL-M8220 with the M8220 Enduro calliper for greater braking power and control on rough terrain, or with the M8200 XC callipers for a more weight-conscious set-up.
- Consistent braking control: smooth SERVO WAVE ACTION optimises the power curve and manages pad-to-rotor friction throughout the lever stroke for more balanced braking, while the new low-viscosity mineral oil maintains consistent power across a wider temperature range.
- Durability: the alloy BL-M8220 lever blade uses the patented Shimano forming process.
- Advanced ergonomics: the shape of the new levers and pivot points, together with reach adjustment, make the BL-M8220 the most comfortable choice for all types of cyclists.
- Tidy cable routing: updated cable routing on the BL-M8220 creates a clean appearance.
- Updated seals and low-viscosity oil: a reliable bite point at all temperatures and in all trail conditions.
- Predictable power: the power curve suited to DH has been refined for the challenges of enduro racing and everyday trail riding.
- Heat dissipation: resin or metal pads, with or without fins, allow riders to fine-tune braking feel when paired with SHIMANO rotors.
- Vibration-free: the new pad and oval mounting eliminate excess noise.
