The performance of the XTR brakes will impress you once again. Despite the low weight, the Cross Country M9200 version leaves nothing to be desired in terms of braking power. At first glance, the BL-M9200 brake lever seems little changed from the previous version. It remains very comfortable to hold and allows for high braking force with minimal effort. Of course, the lever reach is individually adjustable. Accidental rotation is avoided thanks to the contact point being close to the handlebar, which offers a much more direct and sensitive braking feel. The braking system's sealing has been completely revised and can only be filled with mineral LV (low viscosity) oil. The advantage? High brake performance in virtually all temperature conditions, allowing you to tackle long descents with peace of mind, without fluctuations in the pressure point. Furthermore, the responsiveness between the various components is significantly faster. The proven SM-BH90 hydraulic hose is used for the connection to the brake caliper. It is flexible enough to accommodate even tight bend radii, but transmits every deceleration command without loss. The power of the brake caliper isn't visible to the naked eye. Its slim appearance integrates perfectly with any frame, but the 2 pistons provide a powerful grip in every situation. The updated brake pads reduce unwanted noise and prevent annoying rattling, even on rough roads. To reduce weight, the caliper is made from a magnesium alloy, ensuring high stiffness and good heat dissipation. Maintaining the XTR M9200 brakes is simple thanks to the One-Way Bleeding technology, and can be performed even by those with only minimal mechanical skills.
