OEM but problems - Brake Parts

Arrived unassembled, no bleed. The cost of installing LBS is higher. Polymer seals are dangerous, replace them with metal seals immediately.

Pros
  • Lever: Aluminum
Cons
  • Some defects

Even better than M8000

Great feel and modulation. Like Power Breaks - braking with one finger. Even better than the XT M8000 which I replaced with this M8100.

Pros
  • Mount Type: Post
Cons
  • write later

Great brake silly packaging.

a little 4 stars because Shimano put an olive in the brake. You have to dig it up and get the brake fluid on your hands and it lets air into the brakes. I will never understand why they did such a stupid thing. The brakes themselves are what you would expect from Shimano. I'm a fan of the new ispec ev.

Pros
  • Brake caliper: 2-piston
Cons
  • Can't remember, but it got

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…

Pros
  • Drive: hydraulic
Cons
  • A few small things
