The Shimano Deore BR-MT520 4-Pot Hydraulic Disc Brake Caliper delivers powerful and consistent braking performance, engineered for trail, enduro, all-mountain, and e-MTB riders who demand control in aggressive terrain. Designed with a post mount interface and compatible with both front and rear brake setups, this versatile calliper provides smooth modulation and reliable stopping power when it matters most.
Equipped with 4 ceramic pistons, the BR-MT520 caliper ensures enhanced heat management and maximum braking force, even under sustained heavy braking. The one-way internal fluid circuit simplifies bleeding and maintenance, while increased piston retraction allows for better pad-to-rotor clearance—minimizing drag and noise during technical descents or long climbs.
Paired with Shimano’s mineral oil brake system, this caliper offers safer, non-corrosive operation compared to traditional hydraulic fluids. The shim-less mounting system makes installation fast and precise, whether you're upgrading your front or rear brake system. Comes stock with Shimano D03S resin brake pads and is also compatible with sintered metal pads for high-performance in extreme conditions.
