SHIMANO BL-R400 Brake Lever Set | Confident Control for Road Bikes
Upgrade your road bike´s braking control and ergonomic comfort with the SHIMANO BL-R400 Brake Lever Set. Meticulously engineered for cyclists who utilize non-integrated shifting systems, these levers provide a dedicated, high-performance braking solution. They are the ideal choice for custom road bike builds, single-speed or fixed-gear conversions, touring bikes with bar-end shifters, or classic bicycle restorations where precision and reliability are paramount. Offering a clean aesthetic and the trusted performance of SHIMANO, the BL-R400 set ensures you have stopping power and confidence right at your fingertips.
Key Benefits
* Superior Braking Modulation: Incorporating SHIMANO´s renowned Super SLR technology, these levers offer an exceptional mechanical advantage. This results in a quick, responsive, and light-action braking feel, allowing for precise control and powerful stopping force when paired with compatible caliper, cantilever, or road mechanical disc brakes.
* All-Day Ergonomic Comfort: The lever and hood are shaped to provide a natural, comfortable grip, reducing hand fatigue on long rides. Whether you´re riding on the hoods during a steady climb or reaching for the levers from the drops in a descent, the design ensures a secure and comfortable hand position.
* Versatile and Clean Setup: As standalone brake levers (non-STI), the BL-R400 is perfect for riders who prefer separate shifters—such as down-tube, bar-end, or stem shifters—or for single-speed applications. This allows for a simplified, classic cockpit setup with uncompromising brake performance.
Main Features
* Durable Lever Construction: The brake levers are crafted from strong, lightweight anodized aluminum, providing lasting durability and a sleek, corrosion-resistant finish.
* Comfortable Hood Design: Features comfortable black rubber lever hoods that offer excellent grip and vibration damping for a more pleasant ride.
* Optimized for Road Handlebars: Designed specifically to integrate seamlessly with standard drop-style road bike handlebars.
