Cane Creek are renowned for their alloy brake lever shifter sets. The bicycle components company produces quality lightweight brake levers that are ergonomically designed so that your fingers and hands won’t get fatigued when you’re out on those long, hard rides. So, if you are looking for a set of lever brakes for your bike, check out the range of levers from Cane Creek.

So, why look at Cane Creek brake levers anyway? Well, they have been making high quality components for serious bike riders of all persuasions since way back in 1995.

They started out making components such as hubs, brakes, headsets and suspension shocks. In fact, Cane Creek pioneered the now ubiquitous air shock in the mountain biking field. Today, Cane Creek’s professional quality bike components are fitted out on the high performance bikes of many of today’s professional racing teams like Subaru/Fisher, 3D Racing, Mountain Bike Racing, Rocky Mountain, DEVO and Trek/Volkswagen.

If you’re a mountain biker looking for a great light alloy brake lever set, Cane Creek offers its Drop V levers, available in either black or silver. These alloy brake levers are constructed from forged 6061-T6 aluminum, and have a housing made from high-impact resin and with a compound rubber hood. These lightweight alloy levers weigh 310 grams per pair and will feel great on your fingers, even after a full day in the saddle.

Another of Cane Creek’s alloy brake lever sets is their Direct Curve levers. These levers are constructed from cold-forged 7005 aluminum, which makes them extremely strong while maintaining their light weight. In fact, the direct curve lever set weighs just 200 grams. So, if you’re looking to reduce the weight of your bike, these levers may be just perfect for you.

Another feature of these levers is that you can easily and quickly adjust the slack out of the lever providing much more precise braking that will feel more natural. These brake levers are strong and simple to use and are well suited for cross-country riding and for riding on the more technical trails. Cane Creek have not forgotten all those cyclocross riders out there during the colder months with their Cane Creek Crossing Brake Lever. These levers work with traditional drop bar shifters providing greater control over your braking by having the brake levers positioned on the top of the handlebars. These Cane Creek Crossing Brake Levers work well with both caliper and cantilever brakes.

With a machined aluminum lever and bracket, these levers weigh just 87 grams per pair and fit handlebars with a diameter up to 31 millimeters.

So, whether you are into riding on long mountain trails, downhill racing, BMX or cyclecross, you can find Cane Creek Aluminum brake lever sets that will be strong and reliable, while at the same time feeling real comfortable and reducing the fatigue that long hard, and bumpy rides can produce. Remember too, that with all Cane Creek components, you’ll get a two-year warranty with your Cane Creek lever brakes.
