Shimano MT200 rear hydraulic disc brake, left lever

A complete rear hydraulic disc brake: BL-MT200 lever, BR-MT200 caliper, hose already fitted and the system bled ready to bolt on. This is the left-hand lever, which on an Australian-delivered bike operates the rear brake, and it comes with the longer 1700 mm hose the rear needs. It is the direct successor to the BR-M315.

Highlights

• Complete rear brake: BL-MT200 lever and BR-MT200 caliper, assembled with a 1700 mm hose
• Slender steel two or three-finger lever
• Minimum lever reach of 75 mm, so it suits smaller hands
• Resin pads without cooling fins, fitted
• One-way bleeding and funnel bleeding with Shimano mineral oil
• 40 per cent wider pad clearance for less rattle

Quiet, predictable braking for everyday riding

Shimano sets the MT200's power at around 90 per cent of the MT400 kit, tuned for riders who want predictable stopping rather than race-level bite. The wider pad clearance is the practical win day to day: fewer rubbing noises and less pad rattle over rough surfaces.

Compatibility and fit

Supplied without an adapter. Check which rotor size and caliper mount your frame uses and buy the matching adapter separately if you need one. The rotor is not included. Uses Shimano hydraulic mineral oil only, never DOT fluid. Supplied in black. We can fit and bleed it for you at the Marrickville workshop.
