HIGH-POWER 4-PISTON CALIPERS WITH SLIM BL-MT401 ERGONOMIC LEVERS FOR TRAIL, ENDURO & E-MTB — AVAILABLE FRONT, REAR & FULL SET (OEM BULK)
Tackle aggressive trails and heavy-duty riding with confidence using the genuine Shimano BL-MT401 / BR-MT420 Hydraulic Disc Brake System. By pairing the slim, 2-finger BL-MT401 aluminum brake lever with the powerful BR-MT420 4-piston caliper, this setup delivers 20% more stopping power compared to standard 2-piston MT200/MT400 systems, along with faster initial pad contact and reduced rotor noise. Available as an assembled front brake (1000mm hose), an easy-routing J-Kit rear brake (1700mm hose), or a complete front + rear performance set.
FEATURES

Q: What is a "J-Kit" (Easy Hose Connection System)?
A: The rear brake comes as a J-Kit setup where the brake lever is pre-bled and capped, and the hose has an olive pre-installed. This makes it extremely easy to route the hose internally through your bike frame before connecting it to the lever without spilling oil or needing a full bleed in most cases.
Q: How much more powerful is the BR-MT420 4-piston caliper compared to 2-piston brakes?
A: The BR-MT420 4-piston design offers approximately 20% more braking power and increased pad wear resistance compared to standard 2-piston models like MT200 or MT400, making it ideal for Trail, Enduro, and E-MTBs.
Q: Are disc rotors and frame mounting adapters included?
A: No, this listing includes the pre-filled brake lever, hose, and 4-piston caliper with pads. Rotors and post-mount adapters are sold separately.
