Shimano Deore BR-M6220 Disc Brake Lever With Post Mount Caliper

Shimano Deore M6220 fully bled hydraulic disc brake with easily adaptable post-style Caliper.

When you need reliably consistent braking action and a streamlined, clean appearance without shelling out big cash, the Deore M6200 brake lever delivers. Servo Wave serves up quick pad contact and an optimised power curve, and the new low-viscosity oil helps braking remain stable over a wide range of temperatures. It's also I-Spec EV compatible for full on-bar system integration.

The Deore M6220 hydraulic four-piston disc brake calipers bring consistent and full-power braking to the line. The calipers are built around a rigid two-piece design and offer better bike control through their new low-viscosity oil, new piston seal and new heat-resistant resin piston, allowing the braking system to stay stable over a wide range of temperatures. The calipers are compatible with non-finned metal or resin pads and both regular and thicker 2.2mm rotors.

Technology

Servo Wave Action

When you pull a Servo Wave brake lever, initial pad travel is fast, so little lever movement is needed to bring the pads into contact with the rotor. The power multiplication factor then increases rapidly at the pad-to-rim contact so more of the lever stroke is used to apply greater braking power with improved control.

I-Spec EV

I-Spec EV creates a clean and action-optimised cockpit that provides greater focus and flexibility for a wider range of riders.

• Wider adjustment range allows riders of various styles, preferences and body styles to adjust to the optimal position
• Ergonomic design, quicker lever access, and light operation enhance rider comfort and concentration

With its wider adjustment range, I-Spec EV levers can be adjusted to the optimal position to match a wider range of riding styles (Enduro / XC / etc...), rider preferences and rider anatomies (Hand and arm alignment).

I-Spec EV increases brake lever rigidity by moving the brake clamp position inward to create an extra point of contact between the bar and the lever. This additional bracing drastically increases bike control and braking engagement while maintaining space between the clamp and support point for other handlebar accessories.

Four Piston

Disc brake system with the dual diameter opposed-piston caliper design has differently sized pistons in front and in the rear. 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.

The 4-piston caliper also allows a wider contact area for the disc brake rotor while keeping the size compact, and the efficient location of pads is adjusted as necessary to stabilize the pressure. In combination use with the Servo Wave lever it provides an incredible 50% more stopping power than the previous model. The advanced Saint / Zee disc brake system, which adjusts to accommodate the different braking styles of different riders, offers stable braking power and excellent modulation.

• Dual diameter opposed 4-piston caliper design
• Offers stable braking power and excellent modulation, and disturbs the wobbling motion of the rotor and reduces noises significantly

One Way Bleeding

"One Way Bleeding" was developed for quick and easy prevention of air in Shimano's hydraulic system. Shimano have streamlined the oil route throughout the system to prevent air bubbles from being captured in the system.

One way oil routing plus a funnel tool with mineral oil provides an easy and clean bleeding system.

Features
