Shimano BR-M8200 XT 2 Pot Disc Brake Caliper

Shimano’s BR-M8200 XT 2 Pot Disc Brake Caliper delivers lightweight control, consistent braking power, and high thermal efficiency in a compact, adaptable design. Its two-piece forged alloy body and resin piston system reduce heat build-up and ensure reliable performance on demanding rides. Designed for smooth compatibility with Ice Tech rotors and pads, it gives riders dependable modulation with precise lever feel in all conditions.

Key Features and Benefits:

• 2-piston opposed design with optimised pad wear: This setup balances braking pressure across both sides of the rotor. It improves modulation and gives better control during braking. The result is more predictable stopping power with less fade on long descents.
• Resin pistons with high thermal resistance: These pistons are engineered for low heat conductivity and structural stiffness. This helps limit heat transfer into the brake fluid. It maintains braking consistency and prevents fluid boil during prolonged use.
• Two-piece forged alloy caliper body: The caliper is made from lightweight, rigid alloy components that reduce system weight without compromising strength. This keeps the bike agile while maintaining structural stability under heavy braking loads.
• Ice Tech pad and rotor compatibility: Compatible with Shimano Ice Tech rotors and pads, including finned options. This increases heat dissipation and lowers surface temperatures by up to 50°C. It results in less brake fade and longer pad life in extreme use.
• One-way bleeding system: The caliper features Shimano’s one-way oil routing for easier and cleaner bleeding. This simplifies maintenance and ensures consistent lever feel over time.
• Low Viscosity Oil only design: The system is designed to work with Shimano’s Low Viscosity Oil. It maintains consistent fluid performance across temperature ranges. This ensures reliable braking force and a consistent lever stroke in varying conditions.

The BR-M8200 caliper delivers controlled braking performance without adding unnecessary weight. Its refined 2-piston design, heat-resistant components, and compatibility with advanced cooling technologies make it ideal for riders who value consistency and customisation. Whether riding technical terrain or tackling long descents, it gives predictable braking with minimal fade and straightforward maintenance.

Shimano’s BR-M8200 XT caliper offers reliable, customisable stopping power in a lightweight package. Pair it with your preferred rotor setup and enjoy smooth, consistent braking wherever you ride.
