Description

This item is listed as a Shop 2nd D1 item. This means it has either sustained damage to the packaging or there is no packaging. The item itself is in perfect working and aesthetic condition.

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 calliper 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.
