Technology:

- When a SERVOWAVE brake lever is pulled, the initial pad travel is fast, so only a slight movement of the lever is needed for the pads to come into contact with the brake disc. The power multiplier factor then increases rapidly at the “pickup / tire” contact point, so that the lever travel is used to apply greater stopping power with greater control.

- Reach Adjust, The brake lever is equipped with a range adjustment mechanism. The distance between the handlebar grip and the handle can be adjusted to suit any hand size or type of cycling, as well as the individual preferences of the cyclist.

- I-SPEC EV, I-SPEC EV creates a clean and action-optimized cabin that offers greater focus and flexibility for a wider range of cyclists.
Advantages and features
· The widest range of adjustments allows adjustment for cyclists of different styles, preferences and body styles to achieve the optimal position.
· Ergonomic design, faster access to the handle and fluid operation improve the comfort and concentration of the cyclist.

- Brakes: SLX brake calipers are available in a 2-piston version specific to XC and in a 4-piston version for Trail / Enduro. The 2-piston shares the same design as the previous version, which means that the resin brake pads for SLX G02S / J02A and the G04S / J04C metal pads are compatible, while the 4-piston version is completely new, inspired by the XTR M9100, with which it shares the N03A (resin) and D03S (metal) pads. They are also compatible with N03A and N04C pickups.
The SLX brake levers work with both XC and Trail / Enduro calipers and are equipped with Shimano´s SERVO WAVE system for faster coupling, improved power and faster response. The levers now come in two positions on the handlebar for a stiffer braking sensation. It also has a dial that allows easy brake adjustment while driving.
The brake kit for XC (BR-M7100-BL-M7100) with discs (160 mm SM-RT70) and pads weighs 425 g and the Enduro brake kit (BR-M7120-BL-M7100) weighs 444 g, including discs and pills.

- ICE TECHNOLOGIES, Loss of overheating braking efficiency, which can occur in the brake disc and the pad when braking on long descents, for example, has a negative impact on the braking performance. SHIMANO has adopted the ICE TECHNOLOGIES brake disc and the ICE TECHNOLOGIES pad to make cooling technology a reality that provides reliable performance. The coated brake disc blade, which has a 3-layer sandwich structure of stainless steel, aluminum and stainless steel, provides better radiation performance and allows 400 ° C to 300 ° C surface temperature. Likewise, a radiation fin has been adopted for the tablet. In addition, the coated brake disc blade and the radiator fin offer a long service life of the pad, less noise,
