Hi everyone, what I have here is
probably the most popular brakes available on the market today,
and we're looking at the SLX,
you're looking at the Deore M615
and over here in the back is the XT or M785.
Let's take a quick look at them see what the differences are between the three.
They all use mineral oil and as you can see here on the back of the master cylinder,
this one is the Deore or M615, next one over is the m6 75 which is the SL X and
my last one here is the XT same thing mineral oil this is the M 785 B as in I
spec B and you can see the SL x and the XT having done one this one does not
mention B at the end however I'm going to show you how the clamp on design
looks like on the inside and for me it looks exactly the same so any eye spec B
shifters will be able to attach to all three of these again the or XD or SLX so
they look almost almost the same you can see that the or over here a selects
right next to it they have the same finish which is that silver painted
surface the difference on the XD is that to get the shiny finish
if you look here closely you will see so this is what's called the free stroke
adjustment that's only available in the XD and then this is the reach adjustment
which is again can be done in the field any times moving on to the SL X you can
see that the master cylinder looks exactly the same
you have the same reach adjustment here but if you look at the free stroke
adjustment you can see how this is blocked so it's there but can be used
alright moving on to the m6 15 to the or you can see how the master
cylinder shape is slightly changed here so you don't even have that free stroke
adjustment block you don't have it at all and the other thing that disappeared
all of a sudden is the reach adjustment this can be adjusted but if you look in
here you're going to see you need that because it's two and a half millimeter
hex key so I guess the key point here would be that they all look the same
lever design which is made for one finger and I it's superb if you ask me
it works great what they strip down from version to version is pretty much
adjustments us for the way they attach to the handlebar you can see this hinged
clamp design and in order to remove it you have this little pinhole here on the
side the push onto that little hole right there and then the hinge will open
is alright what you're looking like up right here you see that little hole over
there that's where the eye spec B shifters will attach looking at the
calipers here you can see the D or next to the X D and they are both made of two
pieces you can see here and they all have dual pistons in them however the
design is slightly different you can see the bleeding port of position is here
you can see that you have no adjustment here where the board the brake line
comes out of the Devore or us on the XD and actually the SLX is identical with
the XD what you have here you have this little screw so you can change the angle
of the line coming out of your caliper I mentioned the
SLX so again this is another difference you can see here this is a screw that's
holding the pads on to place and what you have here is pin now if I am to move
over to the SLX I mentioned that the SLX caliper is exactly the same as DX d with
the of course with the exception of what's written on it and you can see
this little pad you can see this little pin that holds the pad the brake pads in
place however if you go out and buy this which is pretty much the pin used by the
XD brakes the thread is already in there so all
you have to do is take that pin out put this in then you have a little safety
clip here you pretty much have an XD caliper on this SLX brake as for the
pads all three brakes work with either you can see here this is the f01 a the
resin fins pads you can see the metallic ones f03 see metal and this is a regular
resin pads as G 0 1 s yes G 0 1 s so either one of these would work on end of
either one of these three brake calipers what I'm looking at here is the inside
of the caliper you can see the Pistons the two pistons side by side facing each
other you can see that the or ones are black and the XD ones are white now the
white ones are made of ceramics SLX is the same aside from that you can see how
this pinhole here is missing the thread visible over here they can use either
the fins ice tech pads or the regular ones and to exemplify that you can see
here the the or caliper with defend metallic pads
so no problem whatsoever and they would install just fine with the ice tech
rotors if anyone would be interested in that you can see here these are the XT
writers the ice tech ones look very similar to this for a budget break I
would say the or M 615 is perfectly fine if you want the bite point adjustment
that's only available on the XT and that's pretty much it hope you found
this useful if you have any comments let me know in
the section below and until next time thanks for watching
