There’s been a lot of changes with the levers. The hoods are more comfortable and importantly, higher for a secure hand position. The levers have a better shape and the pivot position of the lever makes braking while riding on the hoods a lot more efficient.

Top Gear- Oval R900 brakes

1.3k Views 196 Votes

Many of us are looking for places to shave a bit of weight on our bikes. If you are in this category then you could do a lot worse than look at Oval’s R900 brake set.

Made from a combination of CNC’d alloy and a titanium bolt per caliper, including Swiss Stop pads, these weigh in at a measly 227g. That’s for the pair! The integrated roller in the arms is said to provide strength with excellent modulation.

Price: $350
