Description

There is only one thing better than a dual piston Shimano brake and that is a 4 piston Shimano brake. Despite its 4-piston design, the BR-MT520 brake caliper has almost the same slim design as those with dual pistons. The pistons are insulated for improved heat management and control of brake pad wear. The four-piston design also increases modulation, allowing for a more predictable application of braking force. These are a very capable brake, suited to a wide range of conditions and riding styles. Paired with the updated BL-MT501 lever with servo wave technology makes these a great value option for the price.

    Superb

    Simple upgrade from be mt420''s to these baby's but huge difference. I've a focus jariffa2 6.8 and ride daily however I've basically added alot more weight than the original weight because of locks, carry racks, panniers, changed handle bar stem, suspension seat post etc etc so I'm simply talking weight here. Weight that needs pulling up and these brakes qualify.

    Thankyou always to the staff at MTB direct because they always answer my questions about techy stuff and help with directions, and they always price match.

    Many kind regards to all,

    Ezekiel Jeffery
