Shimano Deore XT brake lever BL M8100:

The XT BLM 8000 brake levers, featuring a 1.5-finger lever for ergonomic handling, are suitable for direct mounting with I-Spec EV shifters. The Shimano Deore XT brake levers operate both caliper versions with a single model and feature Shimano’s Servo-Wave technology. Furthermore, the free travel has been reduced once again, resulting in even more direct responsiveness. The brake levers follow the design of the XTR brake levers and are also mounted at an angle rather than parallel to the handlebars, so that they are supported at a second point on the handlebars in addition to the clamp, making them significantly stiffer than before. For individual adjustment, the levers are equipped with a tool-free grip width adjustment and a dead-travel adjustment.

Shimano Deore XT 4-piston brake caliper BR M8120:

The Deore XT BR-M8120 brake calipers feature 4-piston technology from the current 12-speed M8100 component series, fitted with N03 A-Resin brake pads with cooling fins. The Deore XT BR-M8120 brake caliper, designed for all-mountain to enduro use with particularly smooth-operating ceramic pistons, is torsion-resistant and approved for brake discs up to 220 mm. The brake calipers feature the Post Mount standard and are compatible with adapters for Post Mount and IS2000 frame and fork mounts. Approved for road and touring bikes.

Shimano I Spec EV:

The new I-Spec version of the Shimano XTR shifters and brakes offers a wide adjustment range – 14 mm laterally and 60 degrees of rotation – ensuring optimal shifter ergonomics. With the I-Spec EV version, the shifter can be mounted on XTR M9100/9120 brake levers in a space-saving manner. Furthermore, mounting via the new standard offers a 14-millimetre lateral adjustment range, and the shifter can also be rotated by 60 degrees. The new I-Spec EV version is not compatible with older brakes.
