The BL-MT201 is a dependable choice when you want to replace or upgrade a hydraulic brake lever on a flat-bar bicycle. Its three-finger anodised alloy lever gives you a familiar, full-hand braking position, while the braking power is tuned for entry-level riding and a wide range of everyday bike styles.
The lever offers a 75 mm minimum reach and uses a tool-adjustable reach system, helping you set the lever position to suit your hands and riding posture. It is designed around Shimano mineral oil, supports funnel bleeding for routine servicing, and uses a straight-joint SM-BH59-JK-SS hose. Pair it with the recommended BR-MT200 or BR-UR300 caliper for a compatible setup. On bikes equipped with MT201 braking, riders can expect useful power and progressive control, although the longer three-finger lever has a more substantial feel than compact two-finger designs.
A good fit for commuters, recreational riders and flat-bar bike owners replacing a worn or damaged hydraulic brake lever.
