A versatile Shimano hydraulic brake

The Shimano BL-MT201 has been designed to offer accessible and high-performance hydraulic braking for everyday use. Its 3-finger lever offers good ergonomics and allows for gradual control of the available braking power.

The BR-MT200 2-piston caliper effectively completes the system. This design is particularly suited to cyclists seeking reliable braking for leisure mountain biking, XC, trail riding, trekking or everyday commuting.

The 1000 mm hose is the right length for most front-end set-ups. It can be shortened to ensure a neat routing that fits the frame and fork perfectly.

Installation and compatibility

The BR-MT200 caliper is designed for Post Mount mounting. If your fork uses a different mounting standard, a suitable adapter may be required.

The system uses a 1000 mmShimano SM-BH59-JK-SS hose and operates with Shimano mineral oil. The kit comes with the necessary components for connecting the hose and with resin pads.

Before purchasing, it is recommended that you check:

• the mounting side: front left;
• the mounting standard of your fork;
• the diameter and type of disc used;
• the required hose length;
• whether the brake pads and rotor are compatible with your system.

Please note: the brake disc and adapter are not included with this product.
