Enduro-tuned control and DH-caliber power with Shimano’s XTR M9220 4-Piston Brake
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"The M9220 4-piston caliper paired with the new lever shape gives me max power without grabbing. It’s intuitive, quiet, and holds up to full-day rides in high heat and elevation."
Designed for riders who push the limits of terrain and braking systems, the Shimano XTR M9220 4-Piston Disc Brake blends EWS-level power with precise control. The BR-M9220 caliper offers massive stopping force and reduced brake fade, while the BL-M9220 lever delivers a natural-feeling pull arc and instant modulation.
The SERVO WAVE mechanism inside the lever maximizes leverage and bite response, while Shimano’s new low-viscosity mineral oil keeps performance consistent no matter the weather. A redesigned pad and mount interface reduce vibration and eliminate rattle for a quiet, focused ride.
With heat-resistant pad options and post-mount compatibility, this brake is ready for steep descents, hard cornering, and tight technical lines—all with the smooth feel that defines XTR.
