No matter which you choose, you’ll benefit from SHIMANO’s new brake lever design where the pivot point is moved closer to the bar, allowing the lever’s arc of motion to better match the natural movement of your fingers when pulling the brakes. The lever shape of the BL-M9220 also employs an upswept path that meets your finger at its natural angle, encouraging an aggressive riding position and balanced weight distribution for improved comfort and control when it matters most. 

Rider focus and control are further enhanced thanks to SHIMANO's newly updated brake systems, which deliver our most powerful and predictable braking performance yet.

The new range of XTR brakes includes three unique setups: one prioritizing lightweight construction for XC racing and riding, a second that features boosted power delivery for more control during aggressive descents, and a third that combines key features from both setups to deliver the optimal balance of weight savings, modulation, power, and control.
