Shimano BL-MT501 Right Brake Lever and BR-MT520 Front Caliper
Shimano’s BL-MT501 Right Brake Lever and BR-MT520 Front Caliper is fully bled and ready to go, offering strong, 4-piston stopping power at an accessible price. The two-piece design of the caliper is highly rigid for better power whilst the different diameter pads provide better feel and modulation under pressure. The I-spec-II compatible lever is made from alloy, sculpted ergonomically for comfort and control, with reach adjust so that the position of the lever can be personalised. The hose is pre-cut at 1000mm for simplicity, but should adjustments need to be made, a spare insert and olives are included. Adapters and rotors are not included so that the set-up can be customised precisely to the bike, but 160mm, 180mm and 203mm rotors will all fit.
