Shimano Saint M-820B Disc Brake Set

The Shimano Saint 820, a top-of-the-range downhill brake that has proven itself over the years and remains a current favourite. Featuring I-Spec mounting and the new Servo Wave System, the new Saint Ice Tec brake delivers unbeatable braking power and the best possible modulation.

The world’s best gravity riders rely on SHIMANO SAINT brakes, which offer maximum braking power in all conditions and enable precisely controlled braking performance. The BL-M820 levers ensure safe braking even on uneven terrain. They offer tool-free lever reach adjustment and free-play adjustment and are I-SPEC B-compatible.

• Shimano Saint rear brake, fully pre-assembled, 6-hole Ice Tec brake disc SM RT86, adapters and discs as selected.

Shimano Saint Brake Levers BL M820B:

Equipped with new Servo Wave technology for reduced free travel, the Saint BL M820B brake levers are I-Spec compatible; the Shimano Saint SLM 820, XT SLM780BI and XTR 970BI I-Spec shift levers can be fitted without an additional clamp.

Shimano I-Spec mounting:

The Saint BLM 820 B disc brake levers are suitable for direct mounting (I-Spec) with the SLM 820BI shift levers. This mounting system allows for space-saving installation of the shift levers directly onto the brake lever clamp. Shimano changed the I-Spec mount on the 2014 system to Type B. You can recognise this by the addition of the letter B to the lever designation. Older Shimano I-Spec shift levers can be combined with the new brake levers using the new I-Spec adapters: SM-SL98-B, SM-SL78-B and SM-SL82-B.

Shimano Saint BR M820 brake caliper:

The high-performance four-piston brake caliper with ceramic pistons and one-way bleeding delivers impressive braking performance. Thanks to the different response points of the four brake pistons, the new Saint brake can now be modulated wonderfully smoothly despite its extremely high maximum braking power. The new Ice Tec brake pads ensure even greater stability.

Shimano SM-RT-86 Ice Tech 6-hole brake discs:

The 5-star aluminium rotors are manufactured using a sandwich construction, with an aluminium core encased by the steel braking surface. This reduces heat build-up by a good 25 per cent.

The Shimano Saint BRM 820 Disc is supplied with Post Mount 6 brake calipers.
