Race-weight performance and trail control from the Shimano XTR M9220 Brake Kit
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"I’m running the M9220 lever with the 2-piston caliper on my fast trail bike, and it hits the sweet spot—light feel, strong braking, and zero fade on long descents."
The Shimano XTR M9220 2-Piston Disc Brake is engineered for technical control and lightweight performance. Featuring the ergonomic BL-M9220 lever and magnesium BR-M9200 caliper, this brake combo blends the stiffness and power needed for aggressive XC and trail riding with the precise modulation that competitive riders demand.
The redesigned lever features an upswept blade and optimized pivot position that follow the natural arc of the finger, reducing fatigue on long rides. SERVO WAVE action ensures a quicker bite point and increased braking force, while Shimano’s low-viscosity mineral oil maintains consistent lever feel across changing trail conditions.
Paired with the heat-resistant, quiet-running 2-piston caliper, the XTR M9220 system delivers high-end braking in a lightweight, efficient platform.
