Shimano XTR Trail M9120 Disc Brake

The high-end disc brake with maximum braking power, thanks to a 4-piston caliper and Trail brake lever with ServoWave technology.

With 4-piston calipers, I-Spec EV clamp and a new lever body. The clamp is positioned further towards the centre of the lever and is angled. This cleverly allows the outer end of the reservoir to rest directly on the handlebar, creating an additional support point when the lever is actuated. This significantly increases stiffness and stability, ultimately leading to an even more direct braking feel and improved controllability. The BR-M9120 four-piston brake realises its immense potential in combination with a special Servo Wave brake lever, the BL-M9120, whose reach can be adjusted without tools and which also features an adjustment option for the free travel. Both brake calipers feature a one-piece aluminium design and are combined with highly rigid brake lines, ensuring that the new XTR brake systems deliver significantly faster response times and reduced free travel.

Scope of delivery Shimano XTR Trail brake:

Rear disc brake BL M9120, left-hand lever, 2-piston caliper BR M9120, hose 100 cm, SM-BH90-SBM, without brake discs and adapters.

Shimano XTR BL-M9120 brake lever:

The Shimano XTR Disc Brake Lever BL M9120, featuring a grippy trail brake lever, is equipped with a cylindrical reservoir and the new brake lever guide for significantly more ergonomic handling. Thanks to ServoWave, it offers 30 per cent faster response and, due to design changes, 10 per cent more braking power. The I-Spec EV mount for direct mounting of the Shimano 12-speed MTB shifters ensures a tidy cockpit.

Shimano XTR BR-M9120 brake caliper:

The monoblock calipers of the new XTR Trail 4-piston disc brake are made of aluminium and always feature a post-mount caliper with an adapter suited to the disc size and fork. The one-piece caliper is extremely torsion-resistant, fitted with super-smooth ceramic pistons and approved for brake discs up to 220 mm. The new BL-M9120 monoblock 4-piston calipers feature oversized pistons and new brake pads with particularly good heat dissipation. Fitted with brake pads on titanium/aluminium plates with external cooling fins, brake heat is reliably dissipated.

Shimano I-Spec EV mounting:

The new I-Spec EV system offers a wider adjustment range with 14 mm lateral movement and 60 degrees of rotation. The I-Spec EV mount is not compatible with older I-Spec Type A, Type B or Type II mounts.

The Shimano XTR BRM9120 brake caliper features the Post Mount 6 standard.
