Shimano disc brake at Deore level consisting of BL-MT501 brake lever and BR-MT500 caliper. The result of the combination is a solid brake performance in any condition. Trouble-free maintenance is provided by the proven One Way Bleeding concept and the Easy Hose Joint System which simplifies brake hose exchanges.
I-Spec II is an integrated mounting system for brake and shifting levers. It just needs one bracket which saves space, provides a cleaner optic and saves about 10 grams of weight. Furthermore the adjustability in horizontal direction offers an optimized individual setup.
Only mountable on I-Spec II compatible brake levers. Not compatible with I-Spec A/B.
At brake systems with J-Kit hose joint the brake lever features an integrated olive what makes an easy brake hose installation and removal possible.
The Shimano BL-MT501 brake lever combines smooth design with stable performance. For more stiffness, the master cylinder features a highly rigid construction. The 2-finger brake lever provides predictable control with the right balance of power and rigidity thanks to the SERVOWAVE high power brake technology. I-Spec II compatible.
The BL-MT501 brake lever is not only compatible to the BR-MT500 but also to the BR-MT520 caliper.
The Shimano BR-MT500 disc brake caliper provides the same powerful braking and smooth construction like the BL-MT501 lever. Its 2 pistons are heat insulated for an improved control of brake pad wear. With its stable braking force the hydraulic MT500 disc brake corresponds to various riding styles at Cross Country and Trekking as well.
