    Does anyone know if the two new XTR brake levers are interchangeable with the 2pot and 4pot new callipers?

    I like the look of the M9120 lever especially the new clamp position and am thinking of buying a set to replace my knackered old M988 levers. But I want to keep the M988 callipers as they are fine and I don’t want 4pot brakes.

    The M9100 lever doesn’t have servo wave which I love so has to be the M9120 levers. My only concern is that if these are designed for 4 pot callipers are they going to move too much fluid in a single throw of the lever… But then Hope manage to get away with 1 interchangeable lever for 2pot and 4pot callipers.

    Levers on there own are quite affordable (for brand new kit) at £60 a side from Wiggle.

    Thoughts?

    I don’t know for sure, but I reckon they are as I don’t think they’re moving a saint level of oil. I can however say they are really nice 🙂

    I would guess so, the M8000 and M8020 levers are the same, they probably don’t move as much fluid as Saint levers, but they’re for slightly different applications.

    Got mine with a M9120 front calliper and M988 rear. Lovely.

    Yes, you can use M9120 levers with 2 pot callipers.

    Ah right – so on the rear you have the setup I’m thinking of…M9120 lever with M988 calliper…correct ?

    I’m currently running XTR levers with Saint calipers. Work a treat.
