Description

Every racer is into shaving grams, because they eventually add up to a kilo and the MT8s with their carbon architecture come in at 185 grams. Significantly lighter that other disc brake kits

It’s now also available as flatmount version, making the competition-proven MT8 SL FM ideal for confined spaces.

The lightweight Carbotecture SL® brake master and the new 1-finger HC carbon lever blade set new standards in terms of ergonomics and modulation.

Developed for racing:

Thanks to the Carbotecture SL® brake master and the 1-finger carbon HC lever blade, the MT 8 SL FM is a real lightweight. Carbotecture SL® is a composite material that is not only light but also extremely resistant thanks to its embedded carbon fibres.

1–Finger HC Carbon Lever Blade
The popular 1-finger HC carbon lever blade is used on the MT8 SL FM ex works. It’s lighter and stiffer than its aluminium counterpart, enabling you to get maximum performance out of your bike.

Lightweight Performance
The 2-piston calliper of the MT8 SL is forged from one single piece.

The result?
Despite its outrageously low weight, the MT8 offers the highest braking power and stability of the 2-piston family.

Flatmount
Many mountain bike frames offer little space in the rear frame triangle – and that’s why the flatmount standard is used.

No matter which frame you drive or will drive – the MT8 SL won’t let you down.
