Speed Brake Lever V-Brake Alloy

What Is It?

The Speed Brake Lever V-Brake Alloy is a mechanical rim brake lever set used on bicycles with V-Brake (linear pull) systems. It mounts on the handlebars and controls braking by pulling a cable that activates the V-Brake arms on the wheel rim.

It is commonly found on mountain bikes, BMX bikes, hybrids, and commuter bikes, especially entry-level or older rim-brake setups.
