Shimano SLX BR-M7120 / BR-M7100 Disc Brake Set J-Kit

SLX BR-M7120 / BR-M7100 disc brake set from Shimano - the powerful brake duo

With the SLX BR-M7120 / BR-M7100 disc brake in a set you get a bundle of a four-piston brake for front and a two-piston brake for rear. Extra brake power on the front wheel is combined with a powerful but much lighter disc brake on the rear wheel. Both brake callipers feature a fast, simple connection system. The BL-M7100 brake levers have a new design that increases stiffness and provides more direct feedback and braking performance. Of course they are equipped with Shimano Servo Wave technology. With a shorter empty travel, more power is available without a long reaction time.

Technology:

Servo Wave
Shimano Servo Wave technology optimises the travel of your brake levers. During the braking process, the brake pads are guided quickly to the brake rotor with very short lever travel. The greater part of the lever travel is reserved for the actual braking force. In this way, you can apply your braking power in a more targeted manner and use it more effectively.

I-Spec EV
I-Spec EV describes a variant of the connection between brake lever and shift lever on Shimano MTB derailleurs. This type of mounting allows the shifter to be adjusted both horizontally and vertically in relation to the brake lever, and ensures a tidy cockpit by reducing the number of clamps required. Compared to I-Spec and I-Spec II, I-Spec EV offers a much wider adjustment range. 14 mm adjustment range the longitudinal direction and up to 60° rotation allow an optimal ergonomic adjustment to your riding style, your sitting position and your anatomy.

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.
