Best selling Disc brakes
Here's a ranking of the best products in this category. To give you a quick overview, we've also added some key information about the products.
1. Shimano Saint M820 / BL-M820
The disc brake system has a brake caliper with counter-rotating double pistons. The front pistons have a different diameter than the rear ones. The system uses a power transmission technique in which the small pistons grip the incoming disc and the larger, more powerful pistons grip the outgoing disc. This reduces the flutter of the brake disc and makes the brake much quieter. The four-piston caliper increases the contact area with the brake disc while keeping its size compact. The position of the pads is precisely adjusted to stabilize the pressure. In addition, in combination with the Servo Wave brake lever, an incredible 50% more braking force is achieved than with the predecessor model. The advanced Saint/Zee disc brake system can be adapted to the driver's braking habits and generates a uniform, excellently controllable braking force.Attention: Brake disc not included in scope of delivery.
2. Shimano XT BL-M8100 + BR-M8120
Thanks to Servo Wave technology, the brake features a quick response and a very well-dosed pressure point. Bleeding is a breeze with the one-way bleeding system, though it's usually only necessary when shortening the brake line. The new arrangement of the clamp creates some extra space on the handlebars, for example for remote levers. Additionally, stiffness has been significantly increased. The ergonomically shaped levers can be easily operated with one or two fingers and can be adjusted within reach without tools. Shimano shifters with I-Spec EV mounts can be attached to the brake levers to secure the additional clamp lever. The Deore XT brake caliper is the solution for all braking problems. The 4-piston version provides strong braking power but can be precisely dosed in combination with the BL-M8100 brake lever. The design is optimized for quick heat dissipation, which can be further enhanced by using ICE-Tech brake pads with cooling fins. This makes longer rides in the mountains manageable. Installation is very simple thanks to the post mount, and maintenance is straightforward due to the one-way bleeding system. Intended use: All Mountain, Trial, Enduro. Caliper material: Aluminum. Lever material: Aluminum. Housing material: Aluminum. Mounting screw material: Steel. Recommended brake disc: RT-MT800 (optional). Brake medium: Mineral oil. Brake line: Plastic. Brake pad: N03A resin (organic), with cooling fins. Lever design: 1-finger. Mounting: left. Clamp: split. Cable length: 1000 mm.
3. Shimano Deore XT BL-M8100 Right
The Shimano Deore XT BL-M8100 brake lever is designed for low weight and cross-country specific braking performance, providing a lot of safety thanks to its intuitive modulation. The distance from the lever's starting position to the contact point of the brake pads can be adjusted to the size of the rider's hand, as well as their riding style and personal preferences. The brake lever is equipped with a reach adjustment, allowing the grip to be tailored to the size of the rider's hand or their riding style. The Servowave brake lever takes up a lot of braking distance at the beginning of its movement, allowing the pads to be brought to the brake disc with minimal lever travel. After the brake pads make contact, the force translation factor increases rapidly. This means that a larger portion of the lever travel is still available to increase braking power and provide more precise modulation.
4. Shimano Deore XT BR-M8120
The Deore XT brake caliper is the solution to all braking problems. The 4-piston version has it all, but can be dosed very precisely in combination with the BL-M8100 brake lever. The construction is designed for fast heat dissipation. This can be further supported by the use of ICE-Tech brake pads with cooling fins. This means that even longer descents in the high mountains are a safe bet. Mounting is very easy thanks to the post mount and maintenance is no witchcraft with the one-way bleeding system. Range of use: All mountain, trail, enduro. Brake caliper material: aluminium. Material mounting bolts: steel. Brake fluid: Shimano mineral oil. Compatibility brake lever: Shimano BL-M8100.
5. Shimano Deore XT BL-M8100 Left
The Shimano Deore XT BL-M8100 brake lever is designed for low weight and cross-country-specific braking performance, providing a high level of safety thanks to its intuitive modulation. The distance from the lever's starting position to the contact point of the brake pads can be adjusted to the rider's hand size, riding style, and personal preferences. The brake lever features a tool-free reach adjustment that adapts to the rider's hand size and style. The I-SPEC EV creates a clean, action-optimized cockpit layout that helps riders maintain focus and flexibility. The Servowave brake lever initially takes up a significant amount of travel, allowing the pads to be brought to the rotor with minimal lever movement. After the brake pads make contact, the force translation factor increases rapidly. This means that the majority of the lever travel is still available to increase braking power and provide more precise modulation.

Recommended brake line: SM-BH90-SBM. Type: Brake lever shift lever. Functionality: Without brake lever. Design: For flat bar / riser. Brake lever length: 2-finger.
6. Magura Mt5
Entry into the Magura Performance class. Proven 4-piston technology from motorcycle racing, adapted for bike use, promises maximum braking power. Brake power combined with ergonomics results in a performance package that allows you to confidently tackle any trail and challenging terrain with endless ease. Naturally, it is also perfectly suitable for S-Pedelecs. The aluminum brake levers fit ergonomically in the hand and enable easy and precise modulation of braking power, even during long braking sessions. The use of Carbotecture technology in the brake lever housing gives the MT5 a low weight while maintaining top braking performance.
