The BR-MT420 + BL-MT401 Disc Brake Set by Shimano - More power, more safety


This Shimano disc brake set for front and rear consists of two 4-piston BR-MT420 brake calipers and two BL-MT401 brake handles. It offers you reliable braking power and thus more safety in gravity applications. The disc brake delivers 20% more performance and is twice as wear-resistant as the 2-piston version BR-MT400 and still 90% as strong as the pricier BR-MT520 model. The brake calipers are made of painted aluminium and have a straight line connection; the pistons are made of synthetic resin. The BL-MT401 2-finger brake levers have a tool-adjustable grip width that is also comfortable for small hands, and they please with their slim design. They are made of lightweight aluminium just like the main cylinders. Thanks to one-way bleeding technology and venting via funnel, proper maintenance is no problem. " J-Kit" means that the brake line is filled with oil but not yet connected to the brake lever. This simplifies installation, especially for indoor installation. Organic brake pads are included.

Technology:

One-Way Bleeding
One Way Bleeding is a technique used on Shimano calipers that facilitates brake bleeding. The hose routing has been optimised so that no air bubbles remain in the brake calliper. In combination with the funnel, the brake can be bled cleanly and easily.

J-Kit
J-Kit is a simple line connection system for hydraulic brakes from Shimano, so that you can install your brakes quickly and easily. The brake hose does not come connected to the brake to facilitate routing of the hose in the frame. The brake hose is already filled with oil in the J-Kit and sealed with a thin membrane. There is a small pin in the J-Kit brake lever that pierces this diaphragm during assembly to allow oil to flow.
