FAQs

Does this brake kit include rotors and adapters?

No, this kit comes fully bled without adapters or rotors. These components must be purchased separately to complete the installation.

What type of brake fluid should I use?

This Shimano brake system is designed exclusively for use with Shimano mineral oil. Do not use DOT fluid, as it can damage the brake system.

How do I adjust the lever reach?

The lever reach can be adjusted tool-free using the integrated adjuster on the lever body. Rotate the adjuster to move the lever closer to or further from the handlebar.

What is the benefit of the Servo-Wave mechanism?

The Servo-Wave mechanism shortens the stroke of the lever, providing faster pad engagement and increased braking power with progressive modulation, allowing for quicker reactions and better control.

Can I use this brake kit for downhill riding?

While powerful, this 2-piston XTR brake kit is optimized for cross-country racing. For more demanding downhill applications requiring maximum stopping power, a 4-piston brake system might be more suitable.

How long are the hydraulic hoses?

The kit includes a front hose of 1000mm and a rear hose of 1700mm, suitable for most XC bike setups. Hoses can be shortened if necessary.

How often should I bleed the brakes?

The frequency of bleeding depends on usage and conditions. It's recommended to bleed the brakes when the lever feel becomes spongy, or at least once a year to maintain optimal performance.

Troubleshooting

Brake lever feels spongy or lacks power

The brake system may need bleeding. Ensure you are using only Shimano mineral oil and follow the proper bleeding procedure for hydraulic disc brakes. Check for any air in the system.

Brake pads rubbing on rotor

Ensure the caliper is properly aligned with the rotor. Loosen the mounting bolts, squeeze the brake lever firmly, and re-tighten the bolts while holding the lever. Check wheel true and frame alignment.

Brake lever is loose or wobbly

Check the hinged clamp and ensure it is securely fastened. Adjust the reach using the tool-free adjuster if necessary.

Reduced braking performance after heavy use

This could indicate heat buildup. Ensure rotors are clean and free of contaminants. Check brake pad condition and consider upgrading to Shimano Ice Tech rotors for superior heat dissipation.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional braking power and modulation for XC racing.
  • Lightweight construction with a carbon fiber lever blade.
  • Excellent heat management reduces brake fade on long descents.
  • Rigid lever design provides consistent feedback and control.
  • Tool-free adjustability for personalized setup.

Cons

  • Rotors and adapters are sold separately, increasing initial setup cost.
  • Requires specific Shimano hydraulic mineral oil for maintenance.
  • 2-piston design may be less powerful than some 4-piston options for extreme downhill use.
  • Cuttable hoses require precise cutting and bleeding for optimal function.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This brake kit comes fully bled with front (1000mm) and rear (1700mm) hoses. It includes spare olives and inserts for hose length adjustment. The shim-less post-style mount allows for direct fork and frame mounting. The hinged clamp offers easy installation without removing grips. Ensure all connections are secure before riding. Compatibility: Designed for use with Shimano Ice Tech Center Lock rotors (160, 180, or 203mm recommended) and standard post-mount calipers. Use only Shimano mineral oil for bleeding. Care: Clean the brake levers and calipers regularly with a damp cloth. Periodically inspect brake pads for wear and replace as needed. For optimal performance, ensure brake hoses are clean and free from kinks. Periodic bleeding may be required to maintain optimal lever feel and performance.
