Off-Road Mountain Bike Race Optimised The XTR's disc brake system has race-tuned power and, thanks to a magnesium caliper and master cylinder as well as a carbon lever blade, comes in at a lighter weight. The XTR M9020 Trail brake system is trail-tuned for power and stiffness by using a pre-loaded aluminium caliper and a new Servo-Wave lever with a powerful and stiff carbon-alloy structure. The XTR M9020 Trail Disc Brake comes standard with Ice Technologies radiator pads for further heat reduction.
The R9170 calipers feature the Shimano Flat Mount system for a sleek and aerodynamic profile and Ice Tech pads for improved heat dissipation. They are easy to set up and maintain thanks to their easy bleed system that uses one-way bleeding.
The 9170 shifters feature an ideal ergonomic shape that is comfortable in the hand and similar in size to mechanical braking versions of the shifter. The shift paddles now also feature a more defined "click" for confidence in shifting and to prevent mis-shifts. E-Tube compatibility means that the shift paddles can be customised to suit the rider. The 9170 shifters now include Synchro-shift technology that automatically moves the rear derailleur when the front ring is changed or moves the front derailleur with the rear shifts to optimise chainline and drivetrain efficiency. The 9170 brake calipers have been tuned to perform optimally in road racing conditions. They feature the Shimano Flat Mount system for a sleek and aerodynamic profile and Ice Tech pads for improved heat dissipation. This kit comes pre-bled and ready to use with shifter, hose, caliper and pads.
The Dura-Ace 9100 brake has been developed to offer greater tyre clearance for up to 700x28c tyres while still maintaining the aerodynamic advantage of previous editions. It's now also up to 43% stiffer than previous Shimano Dura-Ace rim brakes and offers a linear braking curve for improved feel and function. Plus, the quick release (QR) arm now tucks in toward the main body when closed for improved aerodynamics.
When you flow with gravity your inevitably going to need to stamp on the anchors, these Saint dual diameter 4-piston calipers give immense stopping power and great modulation.
Enjoy a more controlled ride as you dominate around the mountain and weave between the trails thanks to this models superb four-pistons. With a faster piston retraction as opposed to its previous model, this latest version delivers superior modulation and improved braking performance, so you can get the most out of every ride. In addition, its four-piston design also reduces disc brake rotor wobbling noise and increases its stopping power by 10% when compared to the BR-M8020 caliper. Complete with N03A resin brake pads with Ice-Tech cooling fins, you'll benefit from out-of-this-world stopping power, even on the rowdiest trail conditions.

This tough model is constructed from aluminium which makes it ideal for withstanding the abuse which comes with trail riding. Stable and versatile, you'll benefit from its superior modulation which gives you excellent control on the rowdier terrain sections. Furthermore, its quicker piston retraction delivers more accurate operation, so you can ride more efficiently and confidently. Technologies: Ice Technologies: The fade, which can occur to disc brake rotor and pad when braking on a long downhill ride, has a negative impact on the braking performance. Shimano has adopted Ice Technologies disc brake rotor and Ice Technologies pad to realise the cooling technology for consistent performance. The clad disc brake rotor blade, which has a 3 layer-sandwich structure of stainless steel, aluminium and stainless steel, provides better radiation performance achieving from 400˚C to 300˚C surface temperature. Also, the radiation fin has been adopted for the pad. Moreover, the clad disc brake rotor blade and the radiator fin provide long pad life, less noise, less fade and lightweight. One Way Bleeding: One Way Bleeding was developed for quick and easy prevention of air in our hydraulic system. We 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. Click here to view the Shimano Brake Reference Guide.
This high-quality model gives you the benefit of 30% greater modulation with linear brake operation, resulting in consistent all-around control. When riding out on the road, you'll also enjoy its clear contact feeling and excellent braking efficiency helping you conquer sharp corners and steep descents. This lightweight model is a perfect solution for riders who want to take advance of some of the best Shimano technologies at an affordable price. Technologies: Dual-Pivot Caliper: A lightweight, compact and durable braking system. Dual-pivot caliper brakes have made considerable progress in the reduction of tolerance and deflection as well as in durability. They have achieved a firm and instantaneous braking response while assuring longer service life. Moreover, the brake pads have improved the durability of 100% to help enjoy high-response braking over longer periods. New Super SLR: SLR stands for Shimano Linear Response. The New Super SLR design makes use of a friction-reducing mechanism in the caliper, lever and cable that improve response and modulation. Also, for the lever, the Servo Wave mechanism is adapted to provide quick contact of your shoe to the rim and longer stroke from the initial braking effect for better control. SLR is the essential factor in the Shimano dual-pivot caliper that delivers more braking power than conventional side-pulls. Click here to view the Shimano Brake Reference Guide.
Enjoy less noise, less fade and superior heat dissipation thanks to this model's Ice Technology keeping your stopping performance consistent. Easy to install and maintain with convenient tool access, this is a perfect upgrade for riders who demand multi-surface braking control wherever your next adventure takes you.

Ready for adventure, the GRX400 gives you hesitation-free operation as you tackle rough roads, gravel and mud. It features convenient tool access for simple wheel replacement and installation. Shimano has also made bleeding easy and clean thanks to its one way bleeding system, which prevents air from getting into the system. With a streamlined oil route throughout the system to prevent air bubbles from being captured, you'll enjoy more efficient maintenance when required. Taking your braking set-up a step further, this caliper's piston uses Ice Tech technologies which avoid the negative impacts of long rides, especially on downhill journeys. Furthermore, its technology does this by using ceramic material to avoid heat transfer for constant stable braking, providing efficient stopping power without loss.

This stunning model features quicker piston retraction for instilled downhill confidence and modulation as you shred the trails. Its four-piston construction is specially engineered for conquering every off-road ride as it gives you versatile high-performance braking control. Technologies: Four Piston: A disc brake system with the dual diameter opposed-piston caliper design has differently sized pistons in the front and in the rear. The system adopts a power transfer system in which the disc brake rotor is pressed by the smaller sized piston at the entrance of the disc brake rotor intake and also by the more powerful larger sized piston at the back. This prevents the wobbling motion of the disc brake rotor and reduces noises significantly. The 4-piston caliper also allows a wider contact area for the disc brake rotor while keeping the size compact, and the efficient location of pads is adjusted as necessary to stabilise the pressure. In combination use with the Servowave lever it provides an incredible 50% more stopping power than the previous model. The advanced Saint/Zee disc brake system, which adjusts to accommodate the different braking styles of different riders, offers stable braking power and excellent modulation.
