SHIMANO DEORE XT T8100 disc brake FW | RW

The SHIMANO DEORE XT T8100 is a high-end disc brake optimised for trekking and city bikes. Equipped with various technologies, it generates outstanding braking performance in all conditions.

With the T8100, the ergonomically optimised brake lever with the 3-finger brake lever forms the link between high braking power from the MTB sector and comfort for trekking bikes. The result is a perfectly tuned brake with outstanding modulation and equipped with the latest technologies.

For a tidy cockpit and optimum ergonomics, the shift lever can be mounted directly on the clamp of the brake lever using I-SPEC II .

I-SPEC II
This mounting system for shift levers offers optimum ergonomics, a tidy look and more space in the cockpit. It is mounted directly on the I-SPEC II-compatible clamp of the brake lever. The trigger can be moved 12 mm to the left or right and its angle can be adjusted by 15°.

ICE TECHNOLOGIES
Fading, which can occur in the brake disc and pad when braking continuously on long descents, impairs braking performance. SHIMANO has introduced ICE TECHNOLOGIES brake discs and ICE TECHNOLOGIES brake pads to create a cooling technology for consistently high braking performance. The brake disc with its 3-layer sandwich structure made of stainless steel, aluminium and stainless steel offers better heat dissipation. The brake pads also feature cooling fins. The design of the disc in combination with the cooling fins results in a longer service life of the pad, less braking noise, less fading and a lower weight.

ONE WAY BLEEDING was developed to quickly and easily prevent air from entering the hydraulic system. We have optimised the path of the brake fluid throughout the system to prevent air bubbles from becoming trapped in the system. The mineral oil line path in only one direction, together with the funnel for filling, enables clean, problem-free bleeding.
