The Shimano BR-U8000/BL-U8000 CUES Bled Brake Lever and Post Mount Brakes offer a perfect blend of simplicity, durability, and adaptability for mid-grade riders seeking reliable performance. This fully bled hydraulic disc brake system features a 2-piston post-style caliper, designed for smooth and consistent stopping power. Its lever and caliper come without adapters or rotors, giving you the freedom to customize the setup to perfectly suit your bike’s needs.
Equipped with a comfortable 3-finger brake lever and an ergonomic alloy design, these brakes ensure optimal control and comfort during daily rides. Compatible with both the innovative Center Lock rotor system and traditional 6-bolt rotors, the CUES brakes provide versatile mounting options. The two-piece caliper design is both rigid and durable, ensuring long-lasting performance under various conditions.
Additional thoughtful features include a hinged clamp for easy installation, tool-less reach adjustment to tailor the brake lever to your hand size, and a shim-less mounting system for quick setup. The use of mineral oil brake fluid offers a non-corrosive, safer alternative to conventional fluids. The kit also includes sintered metal pads (compatible with resin pads), spare olives, and inserts to adjust hose length, giving you all the essentials to maintain and customize your braking system.
Can I use these brakes with any rotor?
Yes, these brakes are compatible with Shimano’s Center Lock rotors as well as conventional 6-bolt rotors, giving you flexibility in your rotor choice.
Is the brake lever adjustable for hand size?
Absolutely, the brake lever features a tool-less reach adjustment, allowing you to customize the lever position for maximum comfort and control.
