Ergonomic, powerful and compact Servo-Wave XTR hydraulic disc brake lever is performance optimized with full adjustability on the fly.
Shimano's XTR Trail lever pairs with the new 4-piston Trail caliper offering Rider Tuned stopping power for the ever more capable breed of modern mountain bikes. With tool-free reach adjust and Shimano's new I-Spec EV standard, the BL-M9120 lever continues to set the standard for mountain bike brakes.
Technology
Servowave Action
When you pull a Servowave 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-optimized 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.
Features
- Short stroke Servo-Wave mechanism with SIL-TEC coated roller for a quick, smooth pad engagement and more power for aggressive riding
- Excellent clearance at the calliper has enabled Shimano to use a short stroke Servo-Wave mechanism. As the brake lever is pulled a cam linkage enables rapid pad to rotor engagement, at the point of contact the cam moves across multiplying the leverage ratio and increasing the stopping power
- Adjustable free stroke enables you to fine tune the amount of lever pull before pad and rotor engagement
- Second braced bar contact point for increased master cylinder and lever rigidity
- Easy access no tools lever reach adjustment dial for custom lever feel and position
- Lightweight, strong and durable forged alloy one piece body is also rigid under hard braking loads
- Forged alloy short 14mm wide brake lever with textured finish for optimum strength, grip and reliability
- Ergonomic pivot position for efficient and powerful braking follows a natural pulling arc
- Integrated inline barrel master reservoir with easy bleed port
- Mineral oil brake fluid
- Hinged clamp for quick installation
- I-Spec EV compatible
