M975 XTR disc brake levers with hose and oil
Choose the type of handlebar you want to use. The brake hose does not get in the way even with a very narrow handlebar.
- Ergonomic, powerful and compact XTR hydraulic disc brake levers
- These XTR two finger brake levers offer exceptional control and modulation
- The compact design of the hydraulic brake lever is created by positioning the oil reservoir on the handlebar clamp unit, in turn giving zero handle bar interference
- Forged alloy brake lever with textured finish for optimum strength, grip and reliability
- Oversized anodised alloy handle bar clamp bolt for light weight and rigidity
- The hydraulic cable lines are taken from the clamp oil reservoir at 45 degrees for much improved cable routing
- Easy access lever reach adjustment for custom lever feel and position
- Kit contains Brake levers, hoses and mineral oil
- Weight: 194 grams
Dual Control levers
An upward motion of the main lever or activation of the secondary lever will release cable using a Dual Control Lever, this has not changed. A click of the upper lever release cable, same as it always has. The difference is that however, now cable is released immediately when the lever is depressed making shifting that much faster. Now shift multiple gears in either directions using the main lever or the secondary release lever. New lower profile saves weight compared to separate shift and brake components. Choose the type of handlebar you want to use. The brake hose does not get in the way even with a very narrow handlebar. SIS-SP41 cable casing system & coated stainless steel cable for Super smooth shifting. Dual Control levers are compatible with all Shimano 9-speed rear derailleurs, but are best paired with a low normal rear derailleur.
M975 Calipers
Shimano's new disc brake calipers retain Shmano's signature control through superior modulation. The BR-M975 retains an opposed two-piston design while reducing weight: The one - piece design is more compact and very stiff which results in a precise and efficient disc brake design. The titanium back plate on the new XTR brake pads are 12 grams lighter than current steel pads. Durability in the pad is also improved by 50%. Post mount calipers can be adapted to any rotor size with the use of post mount adapters.
- Single forged Mono-body construction for optimum stiffness-to-weight ratio
- New brake pad uses titanium back plate that improves rigidity and is lighter weight
- Multiple rotor size availability to accommodates different riding styles
- Calipers available in:
- Post Mount, which with the use of an adapter will fit all brake mount types and rotor sizes.
- International Standard (IS) Mount available to fit 140mm (rear only), 160mm, 180mm (front only)
- weight: 221g
Rotors
The new XTR rotors use Shimano's patented Center Lock technology and receive a new star pattern. The new rotor also aids in improved pad life. Multiple rotor sizes are available for a variety of riding styles.
If you have 6-bolt standard hubs then the XT rotor will be compatible with the XTR system.
