The Avid FR-5 brake lever is a proven favorite among riders who demand reliable, predictable braking performance for their mountain, urban, or commuter bike. Designed for use with mechanical disc brakes and V-brakes, it offers a crisp, direct feel at the lever, helping you modulate braking power with confidence on technical trails or in busy city traffic. Its ergonomic shape fits comfortably under one or two fingers, reducing hand fatigue on long rides and giving you precise control when you need to scrub speed quickly.
Built from durable materials and engineered for easy setup, the Avid FR-5 is compatible with standard mountain bike handlebars and common cable brake systems. The lever typically features reach adjustment, allowing you to fine-tune the distance from the bar to suit different hand sizes or glove thicknesses. This makes it a practical upgrade for riders looking to refresh older bikes or improve the feel of their braking system without switching to hydraulics. Whether you are assembling a new build or maintaining a trusted workhorse, the Avid FR-5 brake lever delivers dependable performance at an excellent value.
