Confident modulation and trail-tuned ergonomics from the XTR BL-M9220 Brake Lever
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"I just installed the BL-M9220 lever and it immediately felt more intuitive. The new angle and adjustability really let me dial in the cockpit for aggressive descending—and the braking feel is firm without being grabby."
For technical descents and long enduro stages, we need brakes that deliver powerful, predictable control without tiring out our hands. That’s where the Shimano XTR BL-M9220 Brake Lever shines. Designed with ergonomics and power delivery in mind, this lever follows the natural arc of the finger and delivers smooth, modulated braking when terrain gets steep and unpredictable.
A 5-degree upsweep and easy reach adjust help position the lever exactly where we want it. Combined with Shimano’s proven SERVO WAVE technology and low-viscosity mineral oil, the M9220 brings consistent braking power across all temperatures. When paired with the M9220 or M9200 caliper, this lever becomes a highly tunable, trail-optimized control system.
