The Shimano XT M8220 Brake Upgrade Kit delivers enhanced stopping power with four-piston calipers, redesigned levers, and SERVO WAVE action that improves modulation and mid-stroke control for technical terrain. Pre-bled and ready to install, this system features heat-managing pistons and anti-rattle technology that transforms sketchy descents into smooth, confident control, whether you're hitting bike park laps or alpine trails!
Rattle-Free – Revised pad and oval mount eliminate unnecessary noise.
Updated Seals – Low-viscosity mineral oil for a reliable bite point in all temperatures and trail conditions.
Predictable Power – DH-capable power curve that has been perfected for the rigors of enduro racing and all-day trail riding.
Heat Dissipation – Resin or metal pads, finned or non-finned, allow riders to tune their precise brake feel when paired with SHIMANO rotors.
ICE Technologies – Components deliver more consistent braking performance by reducing heat buildup in the system. This helps prevent brake fade, which can happen when a rider applies the brakes repeatedly and strongly over a short period of time, such as when descending a long, steep hill.
Four Piston – The system adopts a power transfer system in which the disc brake rotor is pressed by the smaller sized piston at the entrance of the disc brake rotor intake and also by the more powerful larger sized piston at the back. This prevents the wobbling motion of the disc brake rotor and reduces noises significantly.
Pad Mount – Pad Axle
Low-Viscosity Mineral Oil – Ensures consistent fluid performance and piston rebound across a broader temperature range.
SERVO WAVE Lever Action – Improves modulation and power delivery
Recommended Brake Lever – BL-M8200
Compatibility – Compatible with Shimano RT-series rotors (sold separately)
