Ergo Flow

Moves Like You Do

Going fast takes comfort. Great ergonomics provide that comfort. Ergonomic enhancement to Shimano mountain bike brakes provides an improved braking experience that matches the natural riding position of riders regardless of riding discipline.

Improved Ergonomics at Hand

Ergonomics evolved. Shimano has improved upon industry leading lever shape for the most natural-feeling XTR MTB hydraulic disc brake yet.

A Difference You Can Feel

The new closer pivot point follows the natural arc of the finger. Riding in the attack position has never felt more natural.

I-Spec EV

I-Spec EV creates a clean and action-optimised cockpit that provides greater focus and flexibility for a wider range of riders.

• Wider adjustment range allows riders of various styles, preferences and body styles to adjust to the optimal position
• Ergonomic design, quicker lever access, and light operation enhance rider comfort and concentration

With its wider adjustment range, I-Spec EV levers can be adjusted to the optimal position to match a wider range of riding styles (Enduro / XC / etc...), rider preferences and rider anatomies (Hand and arm alignment).

I-Spec EV increases brake lever rigidity by moving the brake clamp position inward to create an extra point of contact between the bar and the lever. This additional bracing drastically increases bike control and braking engagement while maintaining space between the clamp and support point for other handlebar accessories.

Servo Wave Action

When you pull a Servo Wave brake lever, initial pad travel is fast, so little lever movement is needed to bring the pads into contact with the rotor. The power multiplication factor then increases rapidly at the pad-to-rim contact so more of the lever stroke is used to apply greater braking power with improved control.

Features

• Short stroke Servo-Wave mechanism with SIL-TEC coated roller for a quick, smooth pad engagement and more power for aggressive riding
• Excellent clearance at the Caliper has enabled Shimano to use a short stroke Servo-Wave mechanism. As the brake lever is pulled a cam linkage enables rapid pad to rotor engagement, at the point of contact the cam moves across multiplying the leverage ratio and increasing the stopping power
• Adjustable free stroke enables you to fine tune the amount of lever pull before pad and rotor engagement
• Second braced bar contact point for increased master cylinder and lever rigidity
• Easy access no tools lever reach adjustment dial for custom lever feel and position
• Lightweight, strong and durable forged alloy one piece body is also rigid under hard braking loads
• Forged alloy short 14mm wide up-swept brake lever with textured finish for optimum strength, grip and ergonomics
• Evolved ergonomic lever design for trail / enduro with a closer pivot and natural finger motion provides efficient and powerful braking
• Hose direction parallel to the bars designed to look perfect with internal or external routing
• With easy bleed port
• Only for use with Low Viscosity Oil. For consistent viscosity over a wide temperature range ensuring stable piston movement within the brake system and always provides the necessary braking force with a constant lever stroke
• Hinged clamp for quick installation
• I-Spec EV compatible
