BRAKING Brand Folding Race Levers

Postby valkau » Fri Aug 31, 2012 10:56 pm

I’ve just received these BRAKING brand billet levers and blown away by the quality and finish before even putting on the bike. They are so good to just look at - having such great design and finish -and light!

Made in Italy, they have folding arms that are also adjustable from shorty to full size with a replaceable end piece. The black end-block is so well machined and coated I first thought it was plastic. Approx. $100 each delivered so they are a premium product.

I saw a bike in the shop today with the equivalent folding Chinese knock-offs from Ebay and they looked quite cheap and nasty - no comparison in finish and quality.

Same as the ones on my 600 and Dave's crim I think. They came from the states I think but probably not manufactured there

Ours are Hypertecs and they were made in the USA, there very good quality levers compared to a lot out there.
I don't think they do them anymore, probly due to all the copies coming out.
I got mine about 3 or 4 years ago and they are still going strong..
