Technical features

• Brake caliper options: pair the BL-M8200 with an M8220 Enduro brake caliper for powerful braking and control on rough trails, or with M8200 XC brake calipers for a lighter setup.
• Consistent brake control: the smooth SERVO WAVE ACTION technology optimises the power curve and controls pad-to-rotor friction throughout the lever stroke for more balanced braking. The new low-viscosity mineral oil helps maintain consistent power across a wider temperature range.
• Durability: the BL-M8200 aluminium alloy lever blade is made using SHIMANO’s proven forging process.
• Improved ergonomics: the lever shape, pivot points and improved reach adjustment make the BL-M8220 comfortable for different types of riders.
• Neat hose routing: the updated BL-M8200 hose routing gives a cleaner appearance.
• Updated seals and low-viscosity oil: a reliable bite point in a range of temperatures and trail conditions.
• Predictable power: a DH-level power curve refined for the demands of enduro racing and all-day trail riding.
• Heat dissipation: resin or metallic pads, with or without cooling fins, let riders fine-tune brake feel when used with SHIMANO brake rotors.
• Rattle-free: the improved pad and oval mounting design eliminates unwanted noise.
• Brake pads: metallic, with cooling fins.
• Brake hose length: 1000 mm, black.
