Shimano XT is known for their great braking power. This servo wave braking system has a 125% power rating! Shimano has yet again improved this braking system by integrating over-sized 22mm Ceramic pistons. This increases braking power and reduce vibration. Not only are these excellent brakes, but they are easy to maintain, with the one- way bleed that was integrated into the prior year’s XTR braking system.

Comments about Shimano XT BR-M785 Pre-Bled Disc Brake:
I'm so glad I bought these brakes. They are killer. I replaced a janky set of Juicy Carbons that came on the bike, which I never liked.
These have such a great lever feel and are surprisingly strong. I installed them with the OE Shimano rotors and the whole setup is so great. IMO, Shimano has the best brakes out there. It's easy to get parts when you travel if needed, every bike shop carries pads.
I have tried quite a few different setups and always come back to Shimano. The XTs are a bargain. I would probably even run them with 203mm rotors on my DH bike...

Comments about Shimano XT BR-M785 Pre-Bled Disc Brake:
i really couldnt believe how much stopping power it has with only using one finger.. but so true ,as described... only complaint for me is the cutting and bleeding the brakes.. not so easy without the proper kit. believe me.. ive tried without it.The older style way easier to bleed in my opinion

Comments about Shimano XT BR-M785 Pre-Bled Disc Brake:
With the ice-tech rotors and the cooling pads found on these trail brakes, the XT brakes can handle everything from your local trail to DH action. The shorter lever is perfect for one finger braking and these are squeal-free. Set up is super easy and the price is good. I also have aset of the XTR brakes and I can honestly say that the XT is nearly identical in every way except the bling factor. Smart money stays here!

Comments about Shimano XT BR-M785 Pre-Bled Disc Brake:
If you need new brakes, a true upgrade, 2012+ Shimano brakes are the end all. Seriously sketchy sections used to worry me, but i have so much more control over speed. I can easily modulate the power to make sure I am crawling through the loose, or plowing through it. There is a learning curve on the grabby touch, but these brakes are not "on off." Spend as little as 10-20 miles on them and it will be second nature. I installed myself, it was a breeze. Literally put them on, and rode. Barely an adjustment. Second day out on these brakes, it rained and my bike was covered in mud. Not a peep of squeal or a drop in performance. I love when something plain works. No drama, just does its job.
Came off of Avid Elixirs. I thought they were good, I lived with the noise that would come and go. But screw the noise, the upgrade in the ride control and quality is what makes my avids a far second compared to the XTs.

Comments about Shimano XT BR-M785 Pre-Bled Disc Brake:
I've used Shimano and sram brakes (they're not as bad as some people claim) for years but I've always had a fondness for the Shimano stuff because it just works, every time. Now I can add to the list of working every time, quite and powerful. These brakes were super easy to bleed and get ridable. After I had everything set up (btw, do yourself a favor and match these with the Ice-Tech rotors) the stopping power is unbelievable and not just for a 1-finger brake. These little guys are as powerful as anything I've ever ridden. Period. I love them and have recommended them to my friends who have bought them, having the same results. Awesome brakes! Get 'em and stop worrying about too much noise and not enough power!

Comments about Shimano XT BR-M785 Pre-Bled Disc Brake:
I honestly think the Shimano XT m785 brakes are the best bang for your buck. I think you'll find they perform better than brakes costing twice as much. They have a very nice look, excellent power, very strong bite, and they're easy to set up. Do yourself a favor and try the XT m785 before purchasing a more expensive mistake.
- Was this a gift?:
- No
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
