DescriptionThe whole story▼

The CB500X sits taller and carries a nineteen-inch front wheel, which gives it more stability and slightly less front-end feedback than the roadster it shares an engine with. Less feedback puts more weight on what arrives through the lever.

Key Features

  • Folding blade that swings clear instead of snapping off
  • 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
  • Road legal in Germany under ABE No. KBA 91203

Material and Bearing

Solid aluminium, milled, the bearing bore treated separately before assembly, finished black. Slop-free, so nothing is lost between the tyre and the fingers that was not already lost at the contact patch.

A Taller Bike Brakes Differently

More weight carried higher means more transfer onto the front under braking and a longer settling period. The rider wants to build pressure progressively, and progression begins from wherever the fingers happen to rest.

Occasional Gravel

Whatever the tyres, a CB500X ends up on forest tracks. Small tentative inputs on a loose surface live at the very start of the travel, which is precisely what reach adjustment governs.

Road Approval

An ABE under number KBA 91203 applies here. Nothing needs entering in the papers and no testing organisation has to see the bike; the only obligation is having the printed certificate with you.

Scope of Delivery

Supplied as a single brake lever in black, ready to fit. The original pivot hardware is reused, so nothing is discarded and the standard lever can go back on at any time.
