The BL-M8200 alloy brake lever has been refined with evolved ergonomics designed for the rider's hand, and offers powerful traction with consistent feel and modulation for precise control. The new pivot point follows the natural arc of the fingers, while the precise reach adjustment puts the rider in a natural position to tackle technical trail sections. The redesigned SERVO WAVE optimizes the power curve and manages pad-rotor friction throughout the lever stroke for more balanced braking, while the new low-viscosity SHIMANO mineral oil maintains consistent power across a wider temperature range.
- Caliper customization: Pair the BL-M8200 with the M8220 Enduro caliper for greater braking power and control on rough terrain, or with the M8200 XC calipers for a more weight-conscious setup.
- Consistent braking control: The smoothness of SERVO WAVE ACTION optimizes the power curve and manages pad-rotor friction throughout the lever stroke for more balanced braking, while the new low-viscosity mineral oil maintains consistent power across a wider temperature range.
- Durability: The BL-M8200 alloy lever blade uses Shimano's patented forging process.
- Evolved ergonomics: The shape of the new levers and pivot points and the reach adjustment make the BL-M8220 the most comfortable choice for all types of riders.
- Clean routing: The updated cable routing of the BL-M8200 creates a clean aesthetic.
