Completely redesigned to kick ass and take names, the Shimano XTR BR-985 Race Brake leaves nothing to be desired. The new XTR Race Brake produces 110% of the power of its predecessors, but in a lighter package. Completely re-engineered ergonomic lever pivots make for confident, one-finger braking without the torturous squeals. Shimano also addressed the problem of heat build-up through their IceTech features which include aluminum-core rotors, stock aluminum-backed brake pads, and the full-ceramic caliper piston designed to dump heat while maintaining consistent power. Everything is wrapped up in one of the most aesthetically-pleasing packages you'll find in a brakesetAAAall the more reason to spoil your favorite ride.
