Developed in partnership with Shimano’s elite Skunk Team of pro testers, the XTR M9220 brake system brings together cutting-edge ergonomics, refined power delivery, and unrivaled consistency across trail and enduro terrain. The updated ERGO FLOW lever design features a closer pivot point and upswept blade shape that naturally aligns with the rider’s finger motion for a smoother pull and increased control.
Paired with a redesigned SERVO WAVE curve and new low-viscosity mineral oil, the system delivers Shimano’s most predictable and powerful braking yet. Engineered to perform in a wide range of temperatures, XTR brakes give you unwavering confidence on aggressive descents, high-speed trails, and technical terrain.
