DescriptionThe whole story▼

A 21-inch front wheel changes what the brake lever is for. On the V-Strom 800DE the front brake is as much a tool for placing the bike on loose ground as it is for slowing it down, and that job is done with one finger and very small movements.

Key Features

  • Engineered break point inside the two-finger zone
  • Phosphated pivot seat, free of play from new
  • CNC-machined from solid aluminium, black anodised
  • Milled Gilles face for a secure gloved grip
  • Bolts to the original master cylinder without adapters
  • Road legal in Germany under ABE No. KBA 91203

What It Is

A brake lever cut from solid aluminium, anodised black, with a phosphated pivot bore. It arrives tight, which on a bike where the lever is used as a steering input means the input goes where you intend it.

One Finger on Loose Ground

Trail braking on gravel is a matter of millimetres at the lever. Covering the blade with one finger for long stretches only works if it sits close enough to be reached without opening the hand — otherwise the finger hovers and the control suffers.

Gloves Are Part of the Calculation

Off-road gloves are thicker than road gloves and change the effective reach measurably. The wheel adjusts by hand at the trailhead, without tools.

Road Approval

Approved for German public roads under ABE No. KBA 91203, downloadable from this page. No entry or inspection is needed.
