Shimano XT- four piston brake

EUROBIKE 2017 Highlights Tag 3 8 1140x760
More power! Upon request the XT brake will soon be available with a 4-piston calliper.

It took a long time, but now it’s back: the Shimano XT-four piston brake. Aesthetically the new XT really reminds us of the well-known ZEE and Saint models. The main features of the 2 piston version like reach and contact point adjusters have been maintained. Shimano says the main differences are in the 4-ceramic pistons in the new calliper, which provide heaps more braking power. We are really looking forward to a first test. The new XT brake will be available from November and prices start at about € 205.
