BMX Brake Levers

Maintain Control with BMX Brake Levers

BMX brake levers, often referred to as BMX brake handles, are the small components on your handlebars that form an essential part of your braking system. Pressing the lever engages a cable that, consequently, allows you to decelerate or stop. The majority of BMX bike brake levers are crafted from aluminium, ensuring they remain lightweight and free from rust.

Upgrading to a new lever can influence the sensation of your braking, enhancing your braking power and control during rides. Additionally, many riders prefer to update their brake levers to personalise the appearance of their handlebars.

When purchasing new levers, it's crucial to ensure their compatibility with your current braking setup and determine the side of the handlebar where they will be installed.
