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.

  • One way bleeding
  • Four-piston callipers

    Almost as good as Saints

    I've run these on my hardtail for 6 months now and couldn't be happier. Almost identical in performance to Saints I run on my dual sus.

    Some Assembly Required

    My set came as assembly required. Parts (minus fluid) were all there but not connected. If I had known this I would have ordered fluid. Otherwise quality and service were to a high standard.

    Great Brakes

    Got these to replace some low end Shimano 2 pots on my Cube. Obviously the available power is a lot more but the modulation is much better so less likely to lock up a wheel unexpectedly. I like the minimalist look and actually prefer to use an allen key for reach adj. instead of some knob that can get smashed off, on that note the bite point moves out as you adjust the reach out and most things I have read people mention the separate bite point adjust on Shimano levers is next to useless anyway. Finally if this helps anyone, for my rear brake which is internally routed I didn't really want the hassle of swapping out my existing BH-59 for supposedly " Hi power " BH-90 hose supplied with the brakes so just trimmed the lever end replaced insert and olive (olives are same for both hoses) and bled, all good, Great value product if you don't need flashy looks and branding and just want something that actually just works properly !!
