Shimano BR-MT500 front hydraulic disc brake kit with BL-MT501 right lever

A complete front brake, supplied assembled and bled with a 1000 mm hose. In Australia the right lever operates the front brake, which is how this kit comes. SERVOWAVE gives you quick pad contact and then controllable power as you pull deeper.

Highlights

• Assembled front brake: caliper, lever and hose ready to fit
• SERVOWAVE lever action for strong, controllable braking
• Smooth, durable master cylinder design
• Insulated pad and piston to manage heat
• 1000 mm hose, resin pads without cooling fin
• Suits everything from cross-country to trail riding

Consistent power, simple servicing

The rigid caliper and SERVOWAVE lever pairing gives predictable stopping force without a vague initial stroke, while the insulated pad and piston help keep performance steady as the brake heats up on longer descents.

Compatibility and fit

Supplied as a front brake with a right-hand lever, without a mount adapter, for a post mount fork. You will need the correct adapter for your fork 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 you need, ask us before you order.
