Shimano BR-MT420 rear hydraulic disc brake kit with BL-MT401 left lever

A complete rear brake, assembled and ready to fit: four-piston caliper, left-hand lever and a 1700 mm hose already bled. In Australia the left lever operates the rear brake, which is how this kit is supplied.

Highlights

  • Four-piston BR-MT420 caliper for strong, controlled braking
  • Anodised alloy two-finger BL-MT401 lever
  • Short minimum lever reach of 75 mm, suited to smaller hands
  • 1700 mm hose, supplied assembled for the rear brake
  • Resin pads without cooling fin fitted
  • Shimano mineral oil with funnel bleeding for clean servicing

Power without the fuss

The four-piston caliper gives more pad area and steadier power than a two-piston brake of the same tier, while the braking feel is tuned so it stays predictable rather than grabby. Funnel bleeding keeps routine maintenance quick and clean.

Compatibility and fit

Supplied as a rear brake with a left-hand lever, without a mount adapter, so you will need the correct adapter for your frame's mount and rotor size. Uses Shimano mineral oil only; do not use DOT fluid. Rotor and adapter are purchased separately. If you are unsure which adapter or rotor size your frame takes, ask us before you order.

Shimano covers this brake under its standard warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. Normal wear is excluded, which on a hydraulic brake includes brake pads, hoses and seals, along with damage from crash, incorrect bleeding or the use of the wrong fluid.

Warranty claims and returns go through Tune Cycles. Contact us with your order number and we will assess the brake and handle the claim with the distributor on your behalf.
