Deore XT M8220 4-Piston Disc Brake

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I run the full M8220 brake set on my enduro bike and it’s the most confidence-inspiring setup I’ve used. The bite point is super consistent—even when it's hot or muddy—and I love how Shimano killed the rattle with the new pad design. It’s quiet, controlled, and always ready for steep tech."

From steep alpine chutes to chunky, brake-burning descents, the Shimano DEORE XT M8220 4-Piston Disc Brake Set is the complete system we trust when maximum power and precision are non-negotiable. Engineered for trail and enduro riders who push the limits, this setup combines the unmatched stopping force of the BR-M8220 caliper with the ergonomically evolved BL-M8200 lever, delivering refined control no matter how rowdy the ride gets.

With four pistons working in harmony, the BR-M8220 caliper provides DH-level power and heat dissipation, while the low-viscosity mineral oil ensures braking stays consistent from the first lap to the last. Shimano’s updated oval brake mount and revised pad design eliminate the rattle, leaving only the sound of confidence as we dive into technical terrain. Paired with SERVO WAVE lever action and reach adjust, this set keeps our braking smooth, powerful, and tailored to the trail.
