The Shimano Br-U8000/Bl-U8000 Cues Bled Brake Lever/Post Mount Brakes deliver reliable performance for riders seeking a mid-grade component that balances versatility and durability. Designed with a fully bled hydraulic system and a post-style 4 piston caliper, this brake set offers smooth stopping power with minimal maintenance. The 3-finger brake lever ensures comfortable daily use, while the ergonomic alloy construction provides both strength and precision control.
Customization is at the heart of this brake system, allowing you to tailor your setup without constraints. The brakes come without adapters or rotors, giving you the freedom to choose components that perfectly match your bike. Compatible with Shimano’s innovative Center Lock rotor system or traditional 6-bolt rotors, these brakes easily integrate into various setups. Plus, the hinged clamp design and shim-less mounting system simplify installation and adjustment, making it an excellent choice for riders who value convenience.
Built to last, the two-piece caliper design combines rigidity with durability, ensuring consistent performance over time. The use of mineral oil brake fluid not only protects against corrosion but also offers a safer alternative to conventional hydraulic fluids. With tool-less reach adjustment and included sintered metal pads, spare olives, and insert for hose length customization, this kit provides everything you need for a personalized and efficient braking experience.
Can I use these brakes with my existing rotors?
Yes, the Shimano Br-U8000/Bl-U8000 Cues brakes are compatible with both Center Lock and conventional 6-bolt rotors, allowing you to use your preferred rotor type.
Is the installation process complicated?
Not at all. The shim-less mounting system and hinged clamp design make installation simple and fast, even for riders who are new to hydraulic brakes.
