XT M8000 Brake firming up on rough downhills

Im not really sure how to explain this..

 

But when going down some really rough sections my rear XT brake seems to firm up at the lever when braking. (Not fade or brake pump) - as if the bite point has moved... the minute I let the lever go just for a split second and apply the brakes again its back to normal. 

 

I though this was an isolated case but its happening on both my bikes with XT brakes.... they have been re-bled many times and it has not resolved the issue ...

 

Anyone else experience this?

Has the brakes been serviced recently?

If the reservoir is over filed  then brake pump up is possible. the fluid expends and has nowhere to go.

Hi

 

Both sets have been recently serviced ... I though it was a bleed issue so had both sets serviced and still no joy ... they work perfectly.. as long as you don't go racing over braking bumps
