HYDRAULIC-DISC-BRAKE-(BR-M8000)-DEORE-XT-W/O-ADAPTER-FRONT-OR-REAR-W/J02A-RESIN-

• The Shimano XT BR-M8000 disc brake presents itself as just as reliable and powerful as the Deore XT brakes have always been, but has been improved in some details. The fact that the lighter, robust main cylinder integrates seamlessly into the cockpit gives it an even tidier, sportier look. The Servo Wave brake lever BL-M8000 provides an optimal braking feel with clear feedback and short lever travel. The reach can be adjusted without tools, and the contact point can also be adjusted. I-Spec II opens up the possibility of integrating the shifter and offers even more individualisation. As for the Ice-Tech caliper (2 ceramic pistons), it allows controlled braking for all riding styles and ensures optimum thermal management. It can be combined with brake rotors from 140 to 203 mm as well as with various brake pads and can be easily bled with One Way Bleeding. In the present version, synthetic resin pads with cooling fins are supplied.

Technology:

Servo Wave
When you pull a Servo Wave brake lever, initial pad travel is fast, so little lever movement is needed to bring the pads into contact with the rotor. The power multiplication factor then increases rapidly at the pad-to-rim contact so more of the lever stroke is used to apply greater braking power with improved control.

I-Spec II
The XT M8000 levers are compatible with the I-Spec II system, that allows to mount the shift and brake lever on the handlebar with only a clamp. This gives more freedom in the cockpit-design, save weight and improves the ergonomics thanks to diverse adjustment possibilities. Simple structure with narrow brake lever clamp band. More space on handle bar and cleaner appearance. Max. adjustment range vertical: 15°, max. adjustment range horizontal: 12 mm. I-Spec II brakes are not compatible with I-Spec- and I-Spec B shifters (and vice versa).

One-Way-Bleeding
One-Way-Bleeding was developed for quick and easy prevention of air in Shimano's hydraulic system. They have streamlined the oil route throughout the system to prevent air bubbles from being captured in the system.
One way oil routing plus a funnel tool with mineral oil provides an easy and clean bleeding system.

Ice-Tech
Brake fading during prolonged uninterrupted operation, e.g. downhill, impairs braking performance. Shimano has introduced brake discs and pads with Ice-Tech technology to create a cooling technology for consistently high braking performance. The brake rotor has a three-layer stainless steel sandwich structure on the outside around an aluminium core. It radiates heat better and reduces a surface temperature from 400° C to 300° C, for example. The brake pads also have optional cooling fins. The design of the rotor in combination with the cooling fins results in a longer service life of the pads, less braking noise, less fading and a lower weight.
XTR, Saint, Deore XT, SLX, Zee, Deore LX calipers are bundled with Ice Technology pistons in order to achieve optimized lightweight, high rigidity and heat dissipation. Oversized pistons transfer hydraulic power directly to the brake pad, and ceramic material is used to avoid heat transfer for constant stable braking, providing efficient stopping power transfer without loss.
