DescriptionThe whole story▼
Of all the controls on a Panigale V4 S, the brake lever is the one worth upgrading first. Enter the LEVS135K: a 260 g folding brake lever for the Panigale V4 S, Model K (ALIEN), with grip inserts in rubber, customisable through LighTech's colour range. The brake lever is adjustable from the left. LighTech lists it for the Panigale V4 S; it replaces the original lever directly.
Key Features
- The inserts are available in other colours as separate LighTech items
- It costs less than the bodywork a folding lever protects
- Rubber inserts give grip with a wet glove on the Panigale V4 S
- The blade is the sacrificial part, not the master cylinder of the Panigale V4 S
- Folds away on contact, which is what keeps a Panigale V4 S rideable after a drop
- Uses the original pivot and perch of the Panigale V4 S — no adapter
Reach, Weight, Survival
Reach is personal, and the factory lever on the Panigale V4 S treats it as optional. The LEVS135K is Model K (ALIEN): foldable, 260 g, and lighter than the part it replaces. Made in Italy throughout, with the tricolour on the blade.
Fitting
Changing the LEVS135K on a Panigale V4 S is a ten-minute job with hand tools. Torque the pivot bolt to the Panigale V4 S figure — overtightening stops the blade folding. Nothing on the Panigale V4 S is altered permanently.
Fitment and Compatibility
LighTech catalogues the LEVS135K for the Panigale V4 S (2021 to 2026). Check that your Panigale V4 S has the standard master cylinder before ordering — aftermarket perches differ.
Choosing a Model
LighTech's K carries rubber where the fingers actually sit. The inserts are a wear part and are replaced on their own. If this is not the one, the plain black J and the newer H geometry fit the Panigale V4 S identically.
Supplied As
What arrives is the blade, the adjuster and the pivot parts. The opposite side is a separate part number.
Approval and Road Use
According to LighTech, the range meets the requirements of the applicable road regulations. It is a manufacturer declaration; there is no ABE and no Teilegutachten in the LEVS135K box. Track and paddock use raise no question; a road-registered Panigale V4 S might.
