Designed with ergonomics and the human hand in mind, the Shimano XT BL-M8200 2-finger hydraulic brake lever offers a powerful pull with smooth lever feel and modulation for ultimate control in combination with the 4-piston BR-M8220 caliper.
A new, closer pivot point follows the natural arc of the finger, while the 5-degree upturned lever and tuned grip width favour a natural position for confidently tackling technical trail sections.
