The RRL AL brake hoods, sold in pairs in black, are the name given to the complete range of aluminum brake levers designed by TRP. They are the ideal solution for cyclists looking for high-quality levers not integrated with shifters, perfect for single-speed bikes, fixies, or custom road/cyclocross builds.
Features and Benefits:
Material: Anodized aluminum lever and body for maximum lightness and durability.
Ergonomics: The lever blade is ergonomically designed for a comfortable grip, and the hoods (rubber caps) are flat and textured/ribbed for increased grip and excellent vibration absorption.
Quick Release: Incorporates a quick-release push button that provides slack in the brake cable. This feature is essential for:
Facilitating quick wheel removal.
Increased tire clearance, especially useful in mud or with wider tires (like on cyclocross bikes).
Compatibility: Designed with a pull ratio compatible with most mechanical road brakes, whether caliper, cantilever, or disc (short pull).
Finish: Elegant black, often anodized for enhanced weather resistance.
These RRL AL brake lever hoods combine braking performance, light weight, and a clean design for classic road bike enthusiasts or those who prefer minimalist builds.
