Shimano XTR BL-M9220 + BR-M9200 disc brake
Shimano BR-M9200 Caliper and BL-M9220 Brake Lever
The BR-M9200 two-piston post-mount caliper improves Shimano's offering, being lightweight and versatile. It performs well both on the World Cup XC circuit when paired with the BL-M9200 lever, and on tough, steep trails when matched with the BL-M9220 enduro/trail lever. The heat-resistant resin pistons, resin and metal pad options, along with the new low-viscosity mineral oil, make the M9200 caliper the ideal choice for any 2-piston brake needs.
The BL-M9220 brake lever is designed with advanced ergonomics tailored to the cyclist's hand, providing powerful traction with a consistent feel and modulation for optimal control. The new pivot point follows the natural arc of the fingers, while the lever blade (tilted 5 degrees upwards) and reach adjustment put the rider in a natural position to handle technical trail sections. The redesigned SERVOWAVE optimizes the power curve without friction, while the new low-viscosity mineral oil maintains consistent power across any terrain and temperature.
Features

Technologies
MONO-BODY
The MONO-BODY SHIMANO caliper is machined from a single cold-forged block to maximize rigidity.
ONE WAY BLEEDING
The “ONE WAY BLEEDING” function ensures easy and fast prevention of air infiltration in the hydraulic systems.
SHIMANO ERGO FLOW
The improvements to the lever include a new pivot point that follows the natural arc of the fingers, providing a more fluid and natural braking feel.
I-SPEC EV
I-SPEC EV optimizes the setup, creating a clean cockpit that allows for greater concentration and flexibility for a wide range of cyclists.
SERVOWAVE ACTION
The SERVOWAVE brake lever has a rapid initial pull, quickly bringing the pads into contact with the rotor with minimal lever travel. After that, the power multiplication factor increases quickly, allowing for greater braking force with higher control levels.
Please note: Use only the new Shimano Low Visc oil.
