Shimano Deore XT BR-M8200 Disc Brake Caliper - XC | Post Mount | 2-Piston

Deore XT – Where Passion Meets Precision.

With its introduction in the 1980s, the Deore XT series revolutionized mountain biking. And its current iteration more than lives up to this legacy. The revised Di2 design stands out in particular, being now completely wireless and enabling correspondingly fast and reliable shifting. This is not the only point where it ties in with the recently launched XTR M9200 series. With its likewise robust drivetrain construction and sophisticated braking system, the Deore XT M8200 is a groupset that not only effortlessly withstands real-world riding situations, but also redefines what is possible on two wheels.

Predictable Power From The First Pull. The BR-M8200 brake caliper of the current Deore XT series relies on a durable aluminum housing and heat-resistant pistons made of resin. The 2-piston construction of the Postmount brake caliper not only saves weight, but also increases braking power and control on rough, steep trails, especially in combination with the BL-M8200 brake lever. The revised, oval brake pad mount, which, in conjunction with the perfectly matched brake pad options, eliminates unnecessary noise.

The SERVOWAVE technology, which manages the friction between the brake pads and the brake disc during the entire braking phase, offers an optimized performance curve and a correspondingly more balanced braking performance. In addition, the entire braking system benefits from the mineral oil introduced with the XTR M9200 series, which features a lower viscosity compared to the previous version to keep braking performance constant over a wider temperature range.

Ice Technologies | In order to keep the braking power at longer continuous operation consistently high, Shimano has developed the Ice-Tech cooling technology for brake discs and brake pads. Brake pads with Ice Technologies feature cooling fins made of aluminum, which better dissipate heat. In conjunction with the optimized radiation properties of the rotor, this results in a longer durability of the pads, while brake noise and fading are minimized.
