BMX Brake Levers

BMX Brake Levers Keep You in Control

The small levers known as BMX brake levers or handles on your handlebars are an essential part of your braking system. When you apply pressure, the lever pulls a cable, engaging the brakes to slow down or bring you to a stop. Typically constructed from aluminium, most BMX bike brake levers ensure a lightweight design that resists rust.

Installing a new lever can alter the feel of your braking experience, offering enhanced power and control while riding. Additionally, many riders enjoy upgrading their brake levers to personalise the appearance of their handlebars.

It's crucial to verify the compatibility of new levers with your current braking system and determine which side of the handlebar they will be mounted on.
