Still braking mechanically? And you want to add some colour to your bike and saving some weight at the same time? Then you might consider the Extralite UltraLevers 3S, now available in an orange-purple combination for example. Especially for the fans of V-brake or cantilever systems.

These 3D CNC pieces of art will definitely attract some attention to your cockpit. But despite the flyweight of 40 grams (!) per pair, functionality and reliability remain at the highest level. The design is ergonomically optimized to give a secure grip while braking.  Of course, grip width is adjustable to fit all hand sizes.

Compared to the UltraLevers 3 range, the new 3S has a 30% higher cable pull ratio. Together with the improved Trellis frame structure, four high-quality bearings made of special polymer and hard-coated pivot points, this enables a very precise brake modulation.

So, if you are considering for a combination of function of design, these pieces of Italian craftmanship are worth looking at. Literally.
