Left-hand brakes for stunt and supermoto use
Anyone who rides supermotos or stunt bikes knows how important precise control of the rear wheel is. Especially during wheelies or other stunt maneuvers, the rear brake can make all the difference. A left-hand brake (rear brake on the left hand lever) offers the ideal solution – provided the components are high-quality and properly matched.
Why high-quality components are crucial
For stunts and demanding riding conditions, standard parts are often insufficient. Those who want to maintain full control over their bike should invest in high-quality components .
-
brake pump
The brake master cylinder transmits the force from the hand lever to the brake system. A high-quality brake master cylinder ensures precise modulation, constant braking force, and reliable responsiveness , even under heavy use. -
brake caliper
The brake caliper is the heart of the braking force transmission. High-quality brake calipers guarantee powerful deceleration , remain stable even at high temperatures, and enable controlled braking in all driving maneuvers. -
adapter
-
Adapter – the central component
The adapter is mounted on the rear axle and simultaneously enables:
-
the continued operation of the original brake caliper for the foot brake
-
the installation of a second brake caliper for the left-hand brake
A high-quality adapter is crucial, because inferior models can:
-
break or warp
-
preventing the precise positioning of the brake calipers
-
negatively affect braking power and control
A high-quality CNC-machined adapter made of aircraft-grade aluminum ensures maximum rigidity, precise fit and consistently reliable braking performance – exactly what stunt and supermoto riders need.
-
-
brake line
High-quality braided steel brake lines ensure that braking force is transmitted directly and without pressure loss .
Left-hand brakes in the stunt area
For stunt riders, control over the rear wheel is crucial . A high-quality left-hand brake is essential.
-
enables precise modulation of the rear brake
-
ensures reliable braking power even under high loads
-
reduces the risk of lever twisting or inaccurate power transmission
-
It can be installed using plug-and-play technology , without any further work.
