Avid FR-5 Brake Lever set black

Most of the levers can be used for both the front and rear brakes - handy if you want to use your brake grips the other way around, and a gift from heaven if you break a lever in the middle of the woods. Avid brake grips are easy to install, easy to adjust and a real pleasure to pull.

Bend Zone
Avid knows that falls can occur and has therefore developed the Bend Zone. In a violent collision, where a conventional brake lever would fail, the Bend Zone ensures that the brake lever bends and the grip body is spared major damage. So not only can you prevent the worst without having to brake like Fred Feuerstein, you don't even need a new grip body.

Grip width adjustment
If you can control your ride with just one finger, it’s extremely important to adjust the brake grips exactly to the unique shape of your hands. This is exactly why all Avid brake levers have a grip width adjustment.
