BMX Brake Levers

BMX Brake Levers Keep You in Control

BMX brake levers, often referred to as BMX brake handles, are the small levers positioned on your handlebars that form an essential component of your braking system. When activated, the lever pulls a cable, which then engages the brake, allowing you to decelerate or come to a halt. Most BMX bike brake levers are crafted from aluminium, ensuring they remain lightweight and free from rust.

Installing a fresh lever can alter the feel of your braking and enhance your ability to control and apply braking power while riding. Numerous riders enjoy upgrading their brake levers to personalise the appearance of their handlebars.

When choosing new levers, it is crucial to ensure they are compatible with your current braking system and to confirm which side of the handlebar they will attach to.
