Versatile Brake Lever for Mechanical Disc and V-Brakes
The Avid FR-5 Single Lever offers the quality and compatibility of Avid's brake systems in an affordable, no-nonsense package designed for mechanical disc brakes and linear-pull rim brakes. This workhorse lever features an ambidextrous design that can be flipped to operate either front or rear brakes, making it convenient if you prefer reversed brake configurations and a lifesaver if you damage a lever mid-ride. The FR-5 is designed to work seamlessly with Avid's BB7 and BB5 mechanical disc brakes, delivering the squeeze that dreams are made of with easy installation and simple setup.
Built with rugged, lightweight aluminum alloy construction, the FR-5 features Reach Adjust that allows you to dial in the perfect lever position for your hand size and finger length, ensuring maximum one-finger control for every rider. The exclusive Bend Zone technology is engineered so the lever blade absorbs impact and flexes during a crash—one that would break a normal lever—saving the lever body from damage and allowing you to ride out without needing a complete replacement. With an even cable pull, fixed gear ratio, and slotted barrel adjuster for easy cable changes, the FR-5 delivers dependable performance at an entry-level price point without sacrificing the quality Avid is known for.
