The performance of the XTR brakes will also impress you once again. Despite the low weight, the cross country version M9200 leaves nothing to be desired in terms of braking power. At first glance, the BL-M9200 brake lever seems to have changed compared to the previous version. It remains very comfortable to challenge and allows high braking force with minimal effort. Of course, the handle of the handle is individually adjustable. A accidental rotation is avoided thanks to the close contact point to the handlebar, which offers a much more direct and sensitive braking feeling. The brake system holding system has been completely revisited and can only be filled with LV (low viscosity) mineral oil. The advantage? High performance of the brake in practically all the temperature conditions, to face long descents with serenity, without fluctuations at the pressure point. In addition, the reactivity between the various components is significantly faster. The SM-BH90 hydraulic tube, already tested, is used for connection to the brake caliper. It is flexible enough to adapt even to narrow curvature, but transmits each deceleration command without losses. The power of the brake caliper is not seen with the naked eye. Its thin appearance integrates perfectly with any frame, but the 2 pistons offer a powerful grip in any situation. Updated brake pads reduce unwanted noises and prevent annoying spares even on rough roads. To reduce the weight, the caliper is made of magnesium alloy, ensuring high rigidity and good heat dissipation. Maintenance of the XTR M9200 brakes is simple thanks to One-Way Bleeding technology, and can also be performed by those who have only a minimum of manual skills.
