Better, more faster and again for another round of everyday stopping power Shimano's disc brake workhorse SLX BR-M7120 is ready to hit the dusty road overcoming obstacles and stopping in the blink of an eye. This brake kit was released alongside Shimano's new 12 speed group and has seen many upgrades to keep it relevant. It is equipped with 4 calipers delivering serious stopping power on steep enduro trails as well as new level design which offers an advanced I-Spec EV mounting system to keep your cabin as tidy as possible.

The new SLX brake kit is inspired by its XT and XTR siblings , losing some weight and increasing performance. Shimano claims that the new lever itself is 10% stiffer than that of the XT M8000 series even in high temperature conditions, which means that you get faster brake engagement and shorter free play than ever before. In addition to the additional rigidity of the lever itself the fastening system has an additional touch point which increases the overall stability of the lever providing a better attachment angle and a more supportive feel. As for the back 4-piston caliper has faster response time than before and is designed to reduce the vibration noise of the brake disc while increasing braking power by as much as 10% compared to the XT-M8000 - a serious requirement due to higher cost. -effective brake kit.

Brakes continue to use a streamlined master cylinder design which we've seen in previous SLX brakes which reduces the weight of the caliper body. Thinner handlebar clamps still use the Servo Wave cam system delivering increased power and responsiveness when you squeeze them going down a steep slope and making a sharp and unexpected turn back. And with 4 pistons, the M7120 provides greater confidence and control. when things get steep and wild.
