Why We Like The SLX BL- M7100 Disc Brake

Bulky 4-caliper brakes are great for enduro and gravity-oriented disciplines, but when pure lightweight speed is what you're after, reach for Shimano's new SLX-BL-M7100 Disc Brakes for quick braking power without the extra weight. The new SLX 7100 brakes saw revisions that brought it into the future along with the new SLX 12-speed drivetrain, offering quicker piston retraction for improved modulation when you ride, while still offering the svelte aesthetics and reliable performance we're used to from Shimano'a work horse line of components.


Shimano's new SLX brakes carry on with aesthetics that likely remind you of previous models when you take a look at the caliper, and you wouldn't be wrong. They still feature the same profile, and trusty two-caliper design, but in the front is where the magic happens. The new SLX brakes feature a redesigned brake lever that features a new bracing angle for added support that stabilizes the lever for an improved feel, while packing in tool-free reach adjust, and I-SPEC EV compatibility the enables you to fully integrate your shifting and brake levers for a tidy cockpit that leaves plenty of room for dropper remotes and remote-shock levers. In addition to the new mounting position, the new lever also features an updated shape that's both taller and flatter than the previous generation for improved feel while you ride.


The brakes continue with the streamlined master cylinder design we saw in the previous SLX brakes, which saves weight on the caliper body. The slimmer clamps on the bars continue utilizing Servo Wave cam system, with improved power and responsiveness when you give them a squeeze as you head down a steep into a sharp, unexpected switchback. And with 2-pistons, the M7100 offer quick stopping without bulk, offering you everything you need for total confidence on flowy ribbons of cross-country singletrack, .

Instructions/newer technology

After a decade of ordering front and rear brakes fully assembled, I received a SLX brake in two parts with no instructions nor a usable link. I’m fine with the product but it required additional skill and understanding and possible bleeding. As this is an external routing bike I would ask that product description should list the detail of assembly required.

Excellent upgrade

Familiarity:
I've used it several times

These are great brakes and very easy to install with the help of youtube. Great stoping power and come with metallic pads. Only complaint is that these should have come with a bleed block
