Shimano's XTR M9120 callipers feature a MONO-BODY design which is machined from a single cold forged block to maximize rigidity which is then fitted with four ceramic pistons for immense stopping power. Paired with the enduro focused BL-M9120 levers with tool-free reach adjust and SHIMANO's new I-spec EV standard, the entire set continues to define the standard for mountain bike brakes.
- Ultimate performance, response & brake modulation
- High braking force with reduced input force at your fingertips. Very linear response, stroke, and 30% quicker response compared to previous generation M9000 brakes.
- Increased braking power
- 10% more braking power (vs. M9020)
- 4 piston low-profile design
- Banjo type connection
- SERVOWAVE ACTION brake levers
- Initial pad travel is fast enabling quicker contact with the rotor.
- Power then increases rapidly, so more of the lever stroke is used to apply greater braking power with improved control.
- Faster lever rebound for improved rider concentration
- Updated lever shape
- High rigidity
- 8% stiffer than M9000 even under high temp conditions
- Quicker brake engagement with shorter free stroke
- Free stroke adjust allows for fine tuning of lever movement vs. initial pad contact point.
- Easy, quick and clean installation and maintenance
- One way and funnel bleeding utilizes a new, more convenient bleeding nipple position.
