The hydraulic Deore BL-M6100 brake lever is characterized by Shimano's SERVOWAVE technology which improves the lever's modulation ability. Because the brake lever absorbs a lot of braking distance right at the start of its movement, the brake pads have disc contact more quickly and it remains more lever travel to adjust braking force. That is why SERVO WAVE brake systems are characterized by faster response, higher performance and shorter idle travel.



The 2-finger brake lever's construction is inspired by XTR, Deore XT and SLX series, so the clamp is not mounted parallel, but with an angle to the handlebar creating a second contact point which provides significantly increased stiffness. For individual customizability, the lever is equipped with an integrated, tool-based reach adjustment option. Thanks to the I-Spec EV design the Deore SL-M6100-I shifting levers can be mounted directly to the brake lever.
