Redesigned for 2014, Shimano's
XT M785-B disc brakes improve on the design that has set the standard for cross country disc brakes. The "
B" model brakes use a new internal shape in the clamp band, designed to be used with 2014 B-model i-spec shifters.
These brakes come pre-bled, and include the M785-B lever, tubing kit with additional olive/barb for shortening the hose, 74mm M785 caliper, and F03C metal compound IceTech pads.
- Pre-bled disc brake kit for use with separate RapidFire shifters
- Aluminum lever design with a hinged handlebar clamp, updated lever/piston pivot with ServoWave mechanism
- 2-finger tool-free reach and free-stroke adjustable lever blade, and inline barrel reservoir for better ergonomics and increased power
- Dual piston caliper with oversized ceramic pistons, alloy banjo tubing attachment, and IceTech pads with aluminum "radiator" cooling fins
- Designed for use with Shimano brand mineral oil (no DOT fluid)
- "B" model brakes are 2014 models with new internal shape of clamp band. 2011-2013 model year i-spec shifters will not be compatible with these brake levers; only 2014 or newer B-model i-spec shifters are compatible due to new shape of connection point
- Front or rear brakes include BH90-SB hose; 1000mm front, 1700mm rear and include extra olive and barb for hose shortening
