Shimano BL-M8100 BRAKE LEVER XT LEFT
IBLM8100L
SKU code: SHM-IBLM8100L
Shimano Deore XT BL-M8100 hydraulic brake lever, left (rear brake)
The XT lever that gives you feel rather than just force. A refined lever shape, a shorter free stroke and a stiffer body mean the bite point arrives where you expect it, so you can brake later and hold a line with confidence.
Highlights
- Optimised lever axle position and refined ergonomics for intuitive modulation
- 10 per cent stiffer than M8000, including under high temperatures
- Shorter free stroke for quicker brake engagement
- Tool-free reach adjustment and free stroke adjustment
- I-SPEC EV clamp band for a tidy cockpit with a matching shifter
Rider-tuned adjustment
Reach adjusts without a tool, so you can set the lever to your hand size at the trailhead. Free stroke adjustment sets how far the lever travels before the pads bite, letting you choose between an immediate bite and a longer, more progressive feel.
Compatibility and fit
This is the left-hand lever. Set up to the Australian convention, the left lever operates the rear brake. It uses an I-SPEC EV clamp band, so a compatible I-SPEC EV shifter can mount directly to it. This listing covers the brake lever — if you need a complete brake with caliper and hose, ask us.
Not sure which part of your brake needs replacing? Tune Cycles can check it in the Marrickville workshop.
Covered by Shimano's standard warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. Normal wear is excluded — lever pivots, seals and the reservoir diaphragm wear with use, and crash damage, contaminated or incorrect brake fluid, over-tightened clamps and damage from incorrect bleeding are not covered.
Warranty claims and returns go through Tune Cycles. Contact us with your order number, we will assess the part and handle the claim with the distributor on your behalf.
