The caliper of XTR disc Brake Rear M975 can be combined with the SM-RT97SS - 140mm Rotor?
I need any extra adapter or other caliper for the 140mm rotor :?:

    have you looked on shimanos webby?
    XTR
    Shimano's new disc brake calipers retain Shmano's signature control through superior modulation. The BR-M975 retains an opposed two-piston design while reducing weight: The one - piece design is more compact and very stiff which results in a precise and efficient disc brake design. The titanium back plate on the new XTR brake pads are 12 grams lighter than current steel pads. Durability in the pad is also improved by 50%. Use intarnational standard calipers for the ultimate in weight savings to achive the following rotor choices: 160mm / 180mm for the front or 160mm / 140mm for the rear.

    if you order it to fit a 140mm rear then it will fit. if you order the 160 rear it will not fit.

    if you order the post mount one M975P then you will have problems.

    yes but Shimano produces only one caliper for rear disc brake.For the other rotors you can add an adapter to the caliper and you're ok!
    Maybe the 140-160 mm rotor can be mounted with the same caliper without any adapter :!:
