A practical choice for commuters, trekking-bike owners and home mechanics replacing or upgrading a front or rear V-brake caliper.
The Shimano BR-T4000 is a linear-pull V-brake caliper designed for flat-bar trekking bikes, hybrids, commuters and mountain bikes. Its 107 mm arch suits the standard V-brake format, while the front-or-rear design makes it a useful replacement when you need to refresh one end of an existing rim-brake system.
You get an aluminium construction with a linear spring, sleeve-and-bushing axle and X/Y spacers to help achieve a neat, properly aligned installation. The compatible lead pipe angles—45°, 90° and 135°—give you flexibility when routing the brake noodle and cable.
Set up with compatible levers and correctly aligned pads, this caliper provides a firm, responsive feel and good speed reduction for everyday riding. The return spring helps the arms move back to position after braking, while the included Shimano S65T brake shoes make it a convenient replacement package. As with any rim brake, performance depends on cable condition, pad alignment and a clean, true braking surface, particularly in wet conditions.
Front or rear fitment
Use the caliper at either end of a compatible bike, making it suitable for a targeted replacement or a matched brake refresh.
107 mm V-brake arch
The standard linear-pull format is intended for flat-bar trekking, hybrid, commuter and mountain-bike applications.
Aluminium construction
A durable, practical material choice for an everyday brake component, with an approximate weight of 180 g per brake.
Supplied Shimano S65T shoes
The included brake shoes help you complete the replacement without sourcing a separate set of pads.
Flexible cable routing
Compatibility with 45°, 90° and 135° lead pipe angles helps accommodate different frame and cable-routing layouts.
Linear spring return
The spring-loaded arms return towards their starting position when you release the brake lever, supporting consistent pad clearance when the system is correctly adjusted.
V-brake lever compatibility
Pair it with V-brake-compatible levers; it is not a direct fit for road short-pull levers without the correct system solution.
Power modulator compatibility
The specification supports Shimano’s SM-PM40 power modulator for setups that use this component.
