Shimano XTR disc brakes BL-M9220 + BR-M9220
High consistency and control make the BR-M9220 the strongest caliper in the M9200 family. New low-viscosity mineral oil keeps the M9220 brake's attack point consistent on all trails and in all weather conditions, and new brake pads eliminate noise caused by vibration. Increased power and consistency combined with quietness give riders decisive control on the toughest trails.
The BL-M9220 brake lever is designed with advanced ergonomics designed for the cyclist's hand, and offers powerful traction with consistent feel and modulation for optimal control. The new pivot point follows the natural arch of the fingers, while the lever's blade (tilted 5 degrees upwards) and range adjustment put the rider in a natural position to tackle technical sections of the trail. The redesigned SERVO WAVE optimises the power curve without friction, while the new low-viscosity mineral oil maintains constant power in all temperatures and terrain.

Technology
ICE TECHNOLOGIES
Shimano ICE TECHNOLOGIES components ensure more consistent brake performance by reducing heat build-up in the brake system. This helps prevent efficiency losses that can occur when brakes are applied repeatedly and energetically in a short period of time, such as on long steep descents.
SHIMANO ERGO FLOW
Improvements to the brake lever include a new pivot point that follows the natural arch of the finger. Braking has never been so natural.
Please note: Only use the new Shimano Low Visc oil
