Reviews

Brake as expected

"It works fine as a replacement for the original part. However, I had to buy a J-kit because I couldn't find the lever on its own."

Walker64 (5/5)

Great product

"Powerful and responsive braking. After a brief stint with SRAM, I'm back with Shimano—the best combination of quality, finish, power, price, and ease of use."

Best regards (5/5)

Xt 2-piston

"The best value for money I've seen in a long time—power, maintenance, blade replacement..."

Markus (5/5)

Powerful brakes, very pleasant to drive.

"Very satisfied—installation was very easy to do by following the instructions (I didn't have to cut the hose because the length was compatible with my mountain bike). Don't forget to hold the handle firmly while positioning the yellow cap facing upward before removing it. Continue holding the lever while inserting the hose into the port (without removing the membrane that seals the hose). Once installed, this brake provides powerful braking that’s easy to modulate. Very comfortable lever. Two fingers are all you need for top-notch braking."

Anonymous (5/5)

Perfect

"Easy to install. No bleeding required. Stops hard with just one finger once the pads are broken in. In short, I'm thrilled!"

Olive Grove 34 (5/5)

Really touched

"The hose is a bit too long (29-inch fork and 670mm-wide handlebars). You'll need to shorten the hose."

Me25 (5/5)

super-powerful top-of-the-line brake

"Top-notch Shimano brakes—super powerful brakes that let you lock the wheels with just one finger without straining. The lever adjustment is excellent, and adjusting the brake pads is very convenient. Your finger doesn't slip off the brake lever at all—it has a great grip. Quick and easy to install."
