Advanced Heat Management

Shimano’s Ice Technologies FREEZA is a state-of-the-art feature that significantly improves heat dissipation. The multi-layer rotor construction, consisting of an aluminum core sandwiched between stainless steel outer layers, effectively reduces heat build-up. This results in more consistent braking performance, especially on long descents, and extends pad life by preventing overheating.

Center Lock Mount System

The RT-CL800 uses Shimano’s Center Lock mounting system, which simplifies installation and removal of the rotor using a spline mount and lock ring. This design not only ensures a strong and secure fit but also reduces the possibility of rotor wobble, improving overall braking performance.

Enhanced Durability and Lightweight Design

Constructed to withstand rigorous use, the RT-CL800 rotor maintains high structural integrity without adding unnecessary weight to your bike. This balance of durability and lightness helps improve your ride quality and performance.

Sizes and Compatibility

• Available Sizes: 140mm, 160mm, 180mm, and 203mm diameters to suit different riding styles and preferences.
• Compatibility: Designed for use with Shimano hydraulic disc brake systems and Center Lock hubs.

SHIMANO SLX BL-M7100 BRAKE LEVER

The SLX BL-M7100 hydraulic brake lever is distinguished by Shimano 's SERVOWAVE technology, which ensures particularly good dosing. Because the brake lever absorbs a large braking distance from the start of its movement, the brake pads make contact with the brake disc more quickly and there is more lever distance left to modulate the braking force. SERVO WAVE braking systems are therefore distinguished by a faster reaction, higher power and a shorter idle stroke.

The design of the SLX brake lever follows that of the XTR model and is therefore not mounted parallel to the handlebar, but at an angle, so that it rests, in addition to the clamp, on a second point on the handlebar , which makes it significantly stiffer than before. For individual adaptation, the lever is equipped with a tool-free grip width adjustment option. Thanks to the I-Spec EV design, the SLX SL-M7100-I shifters can be mounted directly on the brake lever.

SHIMANO SLX BR-M7120 DISC BRAKE CALIPER

The Shimano SLX BR-M7120 Postmount brake caliper is ideal for enduro and downhill thanks to its 4-piston construction. Thanks to an accelerated piston reset, the modulation behavior could be further improved compared to its predecessor, which results in better braking control. The N03A resin brake pads with Ice-Tech cooling fins, in combination with the powerful 4-piston brake caliper, guarantee very good deceleration.

Shimano XT BR-M8120 disc brake set - more brake control = more concentration on the trail

Shimano XT BR-M8120 is a four-piston disc brake set with organic brake pads specially designed for Enduro and Trail applications. The brake callipers feature excellent brake control and a simple connection system. The I-Spec EV compatible BL-M8100 brake levers are mounted at an angle to provide an additional contact point. This increases stiffness and provides more direct feedback. In addition, Shimano Servo Wave increases braking power: more performance is available with shorter empty travel.

Shimano Deore XT M8100 - The world is your canvas.

The original MTB group continues its legacy of remaining the standard for mountainbikers everywhere. Nearly three decades in, the Deore XT brand is defined by its trail-tested durability, reliability and performance. As mountainbiking becomes faster and faster and the terrain even more technical, the M8100 series aims to give the rider the necessary feeling of confidence and safety.

Following the principle of passing on the experiences and technologies of the top series, the Deore XT incorporates the innovations of the high-end XTR components. Accordingly the new 12-speed groupset features of course Micro Spline and Hyperglide+.

Shimano Deore XT M8100 Enduro brake set consisting of the ergonomic BL-M8100 brake lever and the powerful BR-M8120 4-piston caliper. Trouble-free maintenance is provided by the proven One Way Bleeding concept and the Easy Hose Joint System which simplifies brake hose exchanges.

J-Kit (Easy Hose Joint System)

At brake systems with J-Kit hose joint the brake lever features an integrated olive what makes an easy brake hose installation and removal possible.

Shimano Deore XT BL-M8100 brake lever

The Shimano Deore XT BL-M8100 brake lever's clamp is angled what leads to direct contact between compensation tank and handlebar. The so created two contact points provide significantly increased stiffness, which ultimately results in more direct feedback and thus more braking power.

The braking performance is optimized as well by the Shimano SERVOWAVE technology which improves the lever's modulation ability. Because the brake lever absorbs a lot of braking distance right at the start of its movement, the brake pads have disc contact more quickly and it remains more lever travel to adjust braking force. That is why SERVO WAVE brake systems are characterized by faster response, higher performance and shorter idle travel.

The BL-M8100 is even under high temp conditions 10 % stiffer than its predecessor. The brake lever's reach is individually adjustable without the use of any additional tools. Thanks to the I-Spec EV design the Deore XT SL-M8100-I shifting levers can be mounted directly to the brake lever.

Shimano Deore XT BR-M8120 disc brake caliper

The Shimano Deore XT BR-M8120 Postmount brake caliper is with its 4-piston construction perfect for Trail and Enduro use. Compared to its predecessor a quicker piston retraction leads to superior modulation what results in an improved braking control. The N03A Resin or N04C Metal brake pads with Ice-Tech cooling fins in combination with the powerful 4-piston caliper guarantee extremely good deceleration. In addition, the design with 4 pistons reduces disc brake rotor wobbling noise and increases the braking power by 10 % compared to the BR-M8020 caliper.

Shimano XTR M9100 - Back to where it all started.

The Shimano XTR M9100 group was developed to meet the demands of mountainbike racers at the highest level and guarantees "second to none" performance. The range offers the most versatile components for XC, Enduro and Marathon races.

It all started with the search for the ultimate MTB racing components and now the XTR continues 27 years of innovation with even more speed, focus and control. It is jam-packed with the technological advantages needed to push the boundaries of today's insanely demanding courses. It is lighter, smoother, more durable and versatile to transfer all pedal-pounding watts into ground speed with extreme efficiency.

J-Kit (Easy Hose Joint System)

At brake systems with J-Kit hose joint the brake lever features an integrated olive what makes an easy brake hose installation and removal possible.

Shimano XTR BL-M9120 brake lever

The Shimano engineers have redesigned the XTR 9100 brake levers from a braking system that had been already the benchmark among mountainbike braking systems. For the BL-M9120 levers both the clamp and the lever body itself have been modified. The clamp moves further into the middle of the lever and is angled. This cleverly supports the outer end of the expansion tank directly on the handlebars and creates an additional counter bearing for lever actuation.

This significantly increases stiffness and stability, what ultimately leads to an even more direct brake feeling and improved control. So the BL-M9120 is 8 % stiffer than its predecessor, too. The Enduro brake lever is especially developed for use with the BR-M9120 4-piston caliper and features a tool-free reach adjustment as well as an additional adjustment option for the free travel. Servo Wave technology guarantees smooth and predictable control with the right balance of power and rigidity. Thanks to the I-Spec EV design the XTR SL-M9120 shifting levers can be mounted directly to the brake lever.

Shimano XTR BR-M9120 disc brake caliper

The Shimano XTR BR-M9120 brake caliper has a one-piece aluminium construction and ensures significantly faster response and less free travel of the entire brake system when combined with the highly rigid braking cables. In combination with the especially developed BL-M9120 brake lever the 4-piston caliper makes use of its immense potential. So the BR-M9120 offers 10 % more braking force than its predecessor. The N03A Resin or N04A Metal brake pads with cooling fins in combination with the 4-piston caliper guarantee extremely good deceleration and low weight at the same time.
