Shimano Deore XT BL-M8200 / BR-M8220 Disc Brake Upgrade Kit

Trail and Enduro Stopping Power, Front and Rear

This is the complete Deore XT M8220 upgrade kit: left and right BL-M8200 levers, front and rear BR-M8220 4-piston post-mount calipers, 1000mm and 1700mm BH90 hoses, finned metal and resin pads, connector inserts, and a bottle of Shimano's low-viscosity mineral oil. It's the kit we recommend when a trail or enduro bike needs a full brake refresh, or when you're stepping up from lighter 2-piston brakes and want the extra power and heat control of Shimano's strongest XT calipers.

The BL-M8200 levers put the pivot closer to your fingers and use SERVO WAVE to keep pad engagement progressive through the pull, so you get a solid bite without an on/off feel. The BR-M8220 calipers use a two-piece body and four pistons for DH-capable power with trail-friendly modulation. Low-viscosity oil helps keep the bite point consistent across temperature swings, and the revised pad/oval mount design cuts the pad rattle that used to show up on rough descents.

Please note that rotors are sold separately. Shimano recommends RT-CL800 or RT-CL900 Center Lock rotors.

Whether you're building a new enduro bike, upgrading a trail bike's brakes for bike-park days, or replacing a worn hydraulic system end to end, this kit gives you a matched XT front-and-rear setup in one box.

Shimano was founded in 1921 by Shozaburo Shimano in Sakai, Japan, and the company is still based there today. More than a century later, it's one of the biggest names in cycling components. Deore XT sits just below XTR in Shimano's mountain lineup and brings race-proven performance to trail, enduro and everyday mountain riders.
