Shimano Deore XT M8220 Hydraulic Disc Brake Set – Enduro

The Shimano Deore XT M8220 Hydraulic Disc Brake Set – Enduro delivers downhill-capable braking power for the most demanding riders. Paired with the BL-M8200 lever, the 4-piston BR-M8220 caliper maximizes stopping strength while maintaining precise modulation and consistency. Designed for aggressive enduro racing and all-day trail riding, this system inspires confidence when terrain gets steep and technical.

A newly refined caliper design features updated seals, low-viscosity mineral oil, and rattle-free pads for quiet, predictable braking in every condition. Heat-resistant resin or metal pads—with finned or non-finned options—allow fine-tuning of braking feel and cooling efficiency. When combined with Shimano rotors, the result is smooth, fade-resistant power on long descents and a dependable bite point across all weather conditions.

4-Piston power: Maximum braking strength for aggressive terrain.

Quiet operation: Reduced vibration and noise thanks to updated pads and caliper design.

Consistent modulation: Smooth, predictable braking with Servo Wave technology.

Trail-tuned performance: Reliable in every condition, from wet alpine descents to hot desert enduro stages.

Brake Lever (BL-M8200) Features
