Just as mountainbiking and its riders are constantly evolving, Shimano is permanently striving to provide athletes with innovative materials for an unprecedented riding experience. The SLX M7100 series has been developed for these mountainbikers who want to explore new adventures and adapts - typically Shimano - the technologies of the high-end XTR group. These innovations include 12-speed drivetrain, Micro Spline and Hyperglide+ which have already proven themselves on Deore XT series.
Shimano SLX M7100 brake set consisting of the BL-M7100 SERVOWAVE brake lever and the powerful BR-M7120 4-piston caliper for Enduro and Downhill use.
Shimano SLX BL-M7100 brake lever
The hydraulic SLX BL-M7100 brake lever is characterized by Shimano's
SERVOWAVE technology which improves the lever's modulation ability. Because the brake lever absorbs a lot of braking distance right at the start of its movement, the brake pads have disc contact more quickly and it remains more lever travel to adjust braking force. That is why SERVO WAVE brake systems are characterized by faster response, higher performance and shorter idle travel.
The SLX brake lever's construction is inspired by the XTR model, so the clamp is not mounted parallel, but with an angle to the handlebar creating a second contact point which provides significantly increased stiffness. For individual customizability, the lever is equipped with a tool-free reach adjustment option. Thanks to the
I-Spec EV design the SLX SL-M7100-I shifting levers can be mounted directly to the brake lever.
Shimano SLX BR-M7120 disc brake caliper
With its 4-piston construction, the Shimano SLX BR-M7120 Postmount brake caliper is perfect for Enduro and Downhill use. Compared to its predecessor a quicker piston retraction leads to superior modulation what results in an improved braking control. The N03A Resin brake pads with
Ice-Tech cooling fins in combination with the powerful 4-piston caliper guarantee extremely good deceleration.
