Shimano BL-MT201 1700mm rear right MTB disc brake - EMT201KRRXRA170

The BL-MT201Shimano is a hydraulic brake lever designed for disc braking systems on mountain bikes and all-round bikes. This rear-right version, part number EMT201KRRXRA170, comes with a 1700 mm hose, a length particularly suited to fitting on the rear brake of many mountain bikes.

Thanks to its hydraulic operation, the BL-MT201 delivers smooth, progressive and easily controllable braking. Its lever is designed to offer good ergonomics and simple operation, whether on leisure rides or more technical trails.

The Shimano MT201 is part of a range designed to offer accessible hydraulic braking without compromising the reliability required for mountain biking. It is particularly suitable for cyclists looking for a replacement for an existing hydraulic brake or wishing to improve the braking performance of a bike fitted with a compatible system.

A hydraulic brake suited to mountain biking

The main advantage of hydraulic disc brakes lies in the ease with which braking can be modulated. The pressure applied to the lever is transmitted hydraulically to the caliper, providing a consistent response and easily controllable braking.

The BL-MT201 is particularly suited to cyclists looking for an effective braking system for everyday rides, trails and recreational mountain biking.

The 1,700 mm hose length should be taken into account before purchase. It must be long enough to reach the rear caliper whilst following the frame correctly, without creating excessive tension or unnecessary loops.
