Tektro Winora RL340 Aero Brake Lever Pair Black

Someone at Tektro really studied human hands and designed brake levers that feel just right and give your braking power and control.I was restoring vintage Miyata 10 speed and these levers (with new cable set from Jagwire) make the bike feel like brand new high end model.Hoods are very comfortable.Levers are shaped in a wonderful and complex way. The fingers fit just right. The stock picture hardly shows how it is shaped. I am adding my own picture (although in only available bad light) trying to show proportions and shape.Being one of the cheapest in the marked these are probably the best.When installing I ran into the problem trying to put the cable through. After a while I figured out that if I shine a light from the other side the hole for the cable is much easier to locate.This is a product was designed by someone who took his job as an art form and produced with quality materials.Buy with confidence, these are as good or better as any high end lever.For installation make sure you have set of long hex wrenches, I believe it was no 5. No need for fancy bike tool (multi tool is too short for the job), find it in local hardware shop for not too much.Will be buying another pair for my sons bike.

MUCH better than the cheap "aero" levers/hoods on my entry-level Merax Finiss road bike. I'm still using the original brakes and these somehow give me more braking power which really surprised me. The only thing I was expecting from these was more comfort and I definitely got that too. There are wide enough to not cause big spikes in pressure in one small part of your hand while also having enough of an incline at the end where there's no chance of your hands slipping off the front of them. The actual brake levers themselves are very ergonomic and I can actually stop with them while my hands are on the hoods where I couldn't with my stock hoods/levers. These are definitely easier to reach from the drops as well and provide as much braking power as you can apply with them. The entire pull is great and I'm never uncomfortable or having to force anything at any point during the pull. These looks a lot better too.Overall, I'd completely recommend them to anyone wanting to replace cheap levers or add brake only levers to a fixie bike. Even though these were only $16 at the time of purchase, I'd have bought them for $30.

VERY high bang for the buck!

These brake levers have worked great on my main commuter bike for 2 years. The hoods have disintegrated, but at least there are spares available to buy.

I bought this initially for a "budget build" and it more than met my expectations. I currently have it paired with Paul Klampers and it works flawlessly. The body is made out of plastic and the levers are made of some kind of alloy. Everything works it pulls great and I would highly recommend checking these levers out. Let's not forget these are brakes only! Get em!

First time trying out Tektro and they did not disappoint.Product is well built; brake levers are smooth and pleasant to use.I love the look and looks expensive.Definitely will check them out for future purchases.

I was fixing up an old 80s 10-speed bike that we had lying around. It had the old style suicide levers (aka turkey wing, dual-lever). I changed pads and adjusted the brake calipers but they didn't provide enough clamping force. They will squeal for mercy when coming to a stop. I was thinking I would need to replace everything. I ordered the RL340s along with new Jagwire brake cables and hooked them up to the original 80s calipers. Wow! What a difference. Clamping force is superb! I no longer get the squealing like I used to. They stop extremely well and the brake feel is excellent. I hated to "ride the hoods" on my old brakes because they were steel and not ergonomic. These have a nice rubber hood and are wide enough to feel comfortable. I no longer feel I need to buy new expensive calipers. Installation was a breeze, especially for a newbie like me. If you're trying to figure out which one is right or left just look on the inside, they're marked. If you're in a position like me and just want to upgrade a beater 80s bike then give these a try before upgrading the whole system.

OMG, I love these brake levers. Have an old Cannondale Touring bike and decided to get wider bars. Then I see these Ergo brake levers and I buy a pair. These were a perfect match with these new bars. The levers have two different positions with a long and a short pull. If you get the wheels very straight and set the levers to short pull you get a response to braking that is wonderful. The levers are off set to make it easier to get your fingers on them quickly and securely. Braking has never been this easy. And riding on the Hoods is wonderful. I don't see how these could get any better. I bought a second pair for my Cannondale racing bike and looks like I need another set of nice bars also.
