Shimano XTR Race BL-M9000 Brake Lever

The XTR Race brake lever BL-M9000 by Shimano - trimmed for light weight

The Shimano XTR Race BL-M9000 brake lever is a reliable partner in Cross Country racing. It has been designed for minimum weight, therefore only the reach (with tool) can be adjusted. The brake lever is exclusively made of carbon. BL-M9000 convinces even without Servo Wave by very good response and fine modulation. Thanks to the I-Spec II design, a matching shifter can be integrated to save space.

Technology:

I-Spec II
I-Spec II describes a variant of the connection between the brake lever and the shift lever on MTB or, more precisely, flatbar gears from Shimano. This type of mount makes for a tidy cockpit as it reduces the number of clamps needed. On some models it is also possible to adjust the shift lever both horizontally and vertically in relation to the brake lever. Then there is 12 mm of adjustment travel in the longitudinal direction and/or up to 15° of rotation - for optimum ergonomic adaptation to your riding style, seat position and anatomy.
