The system uses a power transfer mode where the brake rotor is pressed by the smaller piston at the rotor seat entrance and also by the larger, more powerful piston at the rear. This prevents jerky movement and significantly reduces noise. Additionally, the 4-piston caliper provides a larger contact surface while keeping dimensions compact, and the efficient pad positioning is adjusted as needed to stabilize pressure. Combined use with the ServoWave lever provides an extraordinary 50% increase in braking power compared to the previous model.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"grid-xs-1 grid-s-1\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"grid-xs-1 grid-s-4\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIce Technologies\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIncorrect configuration of the disc brake rotor and pads during long descents, for example, negatively impacts brake performance. Shimano has adopted Ice Technologies rotors and pads to achieve cooling technology that ensures consistent performance. The coated disc brake rotor blade, featuring a 3-layer sandwich structure of stainless steel, aluminum, and stainless steel, guarantees better heat dissipation (from 400˚C to 300˚C surface temperature). The cooling fin for the pad ensures less wear, less noise, less efficiency loss, and lighter weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"grid-xs-1 grid-s-1\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"grid-xs-1 grid-s-4\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOne Way Bleeding\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe “One Way Bleeding” function was developed to ensure easy and quick prevention of air infiltration in Shimano hydraulic systems.
