BMX Brake Levers

BMX Brake Levers Help You Stay in Control

BMX brake levers, sometimes referred to as BMX brake handles, are the small levers on your handlebars that are a crucial part of your braking system. When pressed, the lever will pull a cable that activates, allowing you to slow down or stop. Most BMX bike brake levers are constructed from aluminum to ensure a lightweight product that resists rust.

Upgrading to a new lever can affect how your braking feels and provide you with improved braking power and control while riding. Many riders also prefer to upgrade their brake levers to customize the appearance of their handlebars.

When purchasing new levers, it is important to ensure they are compatible with your existing braking system and to determine which side of the handlebar they will fit.
