X-TECH hydraulic caliper,
now available for your Xiaomi M365
This brake kit is designed to improve the original braking system of Xiaomi electric scooters. The main difference with respect to the original braking system is the type of caliper, the original Xiaomi caliper is mechanical, as opposed to the XTECH caliper, which uses a hydraulic system for its operation.
5 advantages of installing the XTECH kit on your Xiaomi scooter
1. Drive.
In the original mechanical brake, the force applied to the lever is transferred to one of the pads (not both) through a brake cable under tension, so braking is not as efficient and the brake pads suffer more wear. In the hydraulic brake, the force is transferred to the pistons of the XTECH hydraulic caliper, and from there to the two pads by means of a fluid (synthetic oil). Due to the pressure exerted by the fluid, the pads will eventually move to squeeze the disc and thus slow down the movement of the wheel. By squeezing the disc on both sides, the brake pads generate more pressure on the brake disc.
2. Braking behavior.
The use of a cable or a fluid to transfer energy to the brake pads substantially changes the type of braking. A hydraulic brake caliper such as the XTECH will offer a more linear and progressive braking behavior (from less to more). The wheels will not lock suddenly, reducing the risk of a mishap or fall and promoting better control and handling of the bicycle. On the other hand, a mechanical disc brake provides a more abrupt, less linear type of braking. The braking power may be greater at the first moment of braking, but the margin to modulate the braking energy according to your needs is reduced. On steep descents, for example, the mechanical brake is less effective than the hydraulic brake.
3. Wet performance.
Related to performance, another major difference between hydraulic and mechanical brakes is their level of effectiveness in the rain. A situation in which good brakes are essential. In wet or slippery terrain it is better to have hydraulic brakes, and not only because they have a greater braking progressiveness. The circuit of a hydraulic caliper brake is completely closed and is more watertight. In mechanical brake calipers the mechanism is exposed at its connection to the caliper. Thus, water is more likely to come into contact, enter the circuit and modify its operation, reducing braking power and modulation.
4. Brake adjustment.
Hydraulic disc brakes are self-adjusting in power, modulation, etc., thanks to the properties of the brake fluid, which is responsible for their operation. On the other hand, a mechanical disc brake will need periodic adjustments to calibrate its power and modulation, through cable tensioning or slackening.
The XTECH caliper has several systems for quickly adjusting braking power, using screws to adjust the distance of the caliper arm. The following image shows the two ways to adjust the clamp.
2. Screw to adjust the opening of the XTECH brake caliper arm.
5. Disc brake maintenance.
Hydraulic brakes are much easier to maintain and are more durable than mechanical brakes. In particular, the XTECH caliper requires virtually no maintenance, simply adjusting the stem bolts once a year is sufficient. Mechanical disc brakes, on the other hand, are more easily out of adjustment. They require more constant maintenance, although simple, very similar to the classic shoe type. In addition, their durability is more limited than hydraulics and the pads tend to wear out faster.
Hydraulic clamp vs mechanical caliper
The main difference of the X-tech brake for Xiaomi M365 is its hydraulic system,compared to the mechanical system of the original brake. This allows a much more direct and progressive braking than the original brake of the Xiaomi M365 and M365 PRO.
How is our X-tech brake kit different from other models?
To perform this installation on a Xiaomi M365, PRO, 1S or Essential scooter, it is essential to have a reinforced aluminum adapter, such as the one we include in our kit, in addition we also include all the screws necessary for mounting the adapter, a 120 millimeters disc and the necessary hardware for installation.
We want to warn you that many distributors (Aliexpress, Amazon, etc.) do not include the reinforced aluminum adapter (essential for assembly), or instead include a plastic adapter made in 3D printing (flimsy material).
Reinforced aluminum adapter
Since the XTECH clamp is larger than the original Xiaomi clamp, a special adapter is required to install it. This kit includes a standard aluminum bracket, which will allow you to install the XTECH clamp on your Xiaomi scooter.
Compatible with Xiaomi M365, PRO, 1S, PRO 2 and Essential
This XTECH brake kit is designed to be compatible with all Xiaomi scooter models, so you won’t have any compatibility problems. Our team continually strives to thoroughly test all our products to verify that they meet quality standards.

I bought this xtech brake which is excellent in power when braking you can feel the difference because it is really smooth, the only detail that was presented was that it arrived a day later than promised, nothing happens otherwise very cool

I like this model also it is the same as the one shown on the page I must applaud the support of the after sales team because I am oriented to use this type of brake with the two models of Xiaomi electric scooter, Xiaomi M365 and Xiaomi M365 PRO.

The XTECH clamp has arrived, it is a good quality product I could say it is better than the original Xiaomi M365 clamp because this one is hydraulic, unlike the original one I feel comfortable with it.

Do you ship outside Spain

The brake caliper fits what I need, the delivery times were very accurate I must admit it arrived in the time estimated by me. the xtech brake kit for Xiaomi M365 is very complete as shown in the picture.

its XTECH brake caliper brakes instantly, it is really safe, making the scooter skid easily. I’m a little late in arriving because of the whole pandemic issue.

Hi, can you tell me if you ship to all Europe? I would appreciate your prompt response

This part is not mechanical as is the original part which makes it perform better than the original part.

Great the kit includes a brake disc larger than the original is great I feel better brake performance, is 120mm, the original is 110mm.

the XTECH clamp sold in this store is better than the original Xiaomi M365 clamp this is hydraulic, the piece has come to me earlier than expected really do not change it for anything the service of this store.
