The Shimano XT BR-M8220/BL-M8200 4-piston hydraulic disc brake set is engineered for enduro and trail riders demanding power, control, and reliability. Featuring a short-stroke Servo-Wave mechanism with SIL-TEC rollers, these brakes provide fast pad engagement and consistent stopping force, even on steep, technical descents.
Dual-diameter calipers maximise braking power while lightweight forged two-piece construction enhances rigidity and reduces weight. Ergonomically designed up-swept alloy levers with a closer pivot ensure efficient finger motion and comfortable grip. Fully adjustable on the fly—reach, free stroke, and contact point—these brakes offer complete customisation. Paired with Shimano Deore XT SM-RT86 Ice Tech 203mm 6-bolt rotors, which combine a stainless steel/aluminium/stainless steel sandwich construction for exceptional heat management, this setup provides quieter braking, less fade, and longer pad life, even under aggressive riding conditions.

2 x Shimano Deore XT SM-RT86 Ice Tech 6-bolt Disc Rotor 203mm
SM-RT86 Ice Tech rotors give excellent performance made from a stainless steel/alloy 3-layer sandwich construction that manages heat while riding.
The clad steel/alloy / steel rotor construction allows heat generated from braking to radiate quickly through the aluminium core achieving surface temperature drops of around 50 deg C. When used with Ice Tech pads surface temperatures can drop from around 400 to 300 deg C, this provides great improvements in performance all round
Ice Tech rotors achieve long pad life, less noise and less fade due to improved heat dispersion
Features:- 6-bolt mounting system
- Rotor contact surface has been developed for excellent pad clearing and cooling which increases pad performance and life
- Large forged alloy spider supports rotor surface, increasing rigidity and reducing weight
