Shimano XTR BL-M9220 + BR-M9220 Disc Brakes (Upgrade Kit)

The BR-M9220 from Shimano is the most powerful caliper in the M9200 series, designed to offer maximum consistency and control. The new low-viscosity mineral oil ensures a consistent bite point in all weather conditions and on any terrain, while the new pads reduce vibrations and noise, providing powerful, stable, and quiet braking.

The BL-M9220 lever has been developed with advanced ergonomics to improve comfort and control. The optimized pivot point, 5° angled lever, and reach adjustment promote a natural hand position. The redesigned SERVO WAVE system enhances power modulation, maintaining a smooth and consistent response in every situation.

Features

• Updated seals and low-viscosity oil: reliable braking point in all temperatures and trail conditions.
• Predictable power: DH-appropriate power curve perfect for enduro racing.
• Heat dissipation: Resin or metal pads, with or without fins, allowing riders to fine-tune braking feel (used with Shimano rotors).
• Vibration-free: The new pad and oval mounting eliminate extra noise.
• Consistent brake control: The brand-new low-viscosity mineral oil creates a reliable and durable power curve in all temperatures and terrains.
• Caliper customization: Pair the BL-M9220 with M9220 Enduro or M9200 XC calipers for a lightweight and powerful setup.
• Durability: The BL-M9220 lever blade is made from alloy using Shimano’s patented forging process.

Technologies

ICE TECHNOLOGIES
Shimano ICE TECHNOLOGIES components ensure more consistent brake performance by reducing heat buildup in the braking system. This helps prevent efficiency loss that can occur when brakes are applied repeatedly and forcefully in a short time, such as on long, steep descents.

SHIMANO ERGO FLOW
Improvements to the brake lever include a new pivot point that follows the natural curve of the finger. Braking has never felt so natural.
