Product description
Shimano Saint BR-M820 Disc Brake Front Wheel H03C Metall black (black)
Unless stated otherwise all of our bikes and brake accessories are sold according to the EU standard brake setup (right hand rear and left hand front) which is in reverse to UK standard brake setup.
The ultimate gravity and downhill brake, the SAINT hydraulic disc brake features a rigid caliper, 4-ceramic pistons, and integrated ICE TECHNOLOGIES heat management.
The world's best gravity riders rely on SHIMANO SAINT brakes to deliver ultimate stopping power and nuanced modulation no matter the conditions. For sure braking in the roughest terrain, the BL-M820 levers are textured and feature tool-free reach adjust, Free Stroke adjustment, and I-spec B compatibility.
ICE TECHNOLOGIES
The fade, which can occur to disc brake rotor and pad when braking on a long downhill ride for instance, has a negative impact on the braking performance. SHIMANO has adopted ICE TECHNOLOGIES disc brake rotor and ICE TECHNOLOGIES pad to realize the cooling technology for consistent performance. The clad disc brake rotor blade, which has a 3 layer-sandwich structure of stainless steel, aluminum and stainless steel, provides better radiation performance achieving from 400˚C to 300˚C surface temperature. Also, the radiation fin has been adopted for the pad. Moreover, the clad disc brake rotor blade and the radiator fin provide long pad life, less noise, less fade and lightweight.
ONE WAY BLEEDING
“ONE WAY BLEEDING” was developed for quick and easy prevention of air in our hydraulic system. Shimano has streamlined the oil route throughout the system to prevent air bubbles from being captured in the system. One way oil routing plus a funnel tool with mineral oil provides an easy and clean bleeding system.
SERVOWAVE ACTION
When you pull a SERVOWAVE 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.
Reach Adjust
Brake lever is equipped with a reach adjust mechanism. The distance from handlebar grip to lever can be adjusted to suit any hand size, type of riding and individual rider preferences.
Free Stroke
The distance from initial lever position to pad contact point can be adjusted to suit any hand size, type of riding and individual rider preferences.
