The Shimano XT BR-M8200 is a hydraulic disc brake caliper with 2 pistons and an aluminium alloy body.
To maintain consistent braking power for longer, Shimano developed Ice-Tech cooling technology for brake rotors and pads. Ice-Tech pads have aluminium cooling fins that help dissipate heat more effectively. Combined with optimised heat dissipation from the brake rotor, this extends pad life and minimises brake noise and fading.
