Review on SHIMANO BR M8100 Brake Black Front by Gregory Shin

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Nice upgrade from XT M-785

Excellent Shimano brakes. They have been updated from the 8000s which fixes the floating bite issue. The new bracket is good and the brake lever will be fixed if you press it hard. The brakes feel great and easily beat the stopping power of my old XT 785. The brakes are easy to install and have Shimano's signature easy brake bleed process to remove any hidden air bubbles. Used the bleed procedure and there was no air in the system. Driven a little over 200 km with it, very satisfied. Will report if there are problems.

Pros
  • Drive: hydraulic
Cons
  • A few small things
