The BL-M8200 brake lever made of aluminum has been refined with a focus on ergonomics and the human hand, offering powerful pull with consistent lever feel and modulation for ultimate control. A new, tighter pivot point follows the natural arc of the finger, while the adjustable reach brings the rider into a natural position to tackle technical sections of the trail. The newly designed SERVO WAVE optimizes the force curve and manages the friction between brake pad and rotor throughout the lever pull for a more balanced braking behavior, while Shimano's new low-viscosity mineral oil maintains constant power over a wider temperature range.
