DescriptionThe whole story▼

The Z800 was a heavy middleweight with a great deal of character and brakes that were adequate rather than generous. Bikes like that reward riders who use the whole range of what is available rather than grabbing at the top of it.

Key Features

  • Reach adjustable through 35 positions, set by hand
  • Central adjuster wheel, reachable from the riding position
  • 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
  • Road legal in Germany under ABE No. KBA 91203

Milled and Treated

Aluminium from solid, machined, bearing bore treated in its own pass, black finished. Slop-free from new, which on a bike now a decade old is an immediate improvement over the part it replaces.

Using the Whole Range

When the hardware is merely adequate, smooth progressive pressure gets more out of it than force does. Progression begins from where the fingers rest, not from where they arrive after a stretch.

Weight to Manage

There is real mass here for the class. Slowing it is a longer action than on a lighter bike, and long actions are comfortable only from a strong starting position.

Road Approval

ABE No. KBA 91203 covers this reference. Fitting it changes nothing that has to be entered in the documents, and no testing organisation needs to inspect the result.

Scope of Delivery

One black brake lever, delivered on its own. No adapters or extra parts are needed: the factory pivot bolt and its nut carry over.
