What brakes pair best with the Avid FR-5 Brake Levers?

The Avid FR-5 Brake Levers - Black | Pair work with mechanical disc brakes and linear-pull brakes, and Avid recommends them for its BB7 mountain calipers. ReachAdjustment brings the blade in or out to fit your hand, and the Qwik-Adjust barrel adjuster lets you take up cable slack right at the lever. Bend Zone lets the blade bend in a crash so the lever body comes through intact.

Each lever can run on either side, so you can set your brakes up moto style, or pull a spare off the shelf for the left or the right when one takes a hit on the trail. The pair weighs 155 grams in a clean satin black finish that suits almost any flat-bar build. A solid pick for mountain, hybrid, and commuter riders running cable-actuated brakes who want simple, adjustable lever feel.

FAQ

Do the Avid FR-5 levers work with hydraulic brakes?

No. They are cable levers for mechanical disc brakes and linear-pull brakes. Avid recommends them for BB7 mountain calipers.

Can I run the FR-5 levers with my brakes reversed?

Yes. Each lever works on either side of the bar, so you can swap front and rear. It also means one spare covers a broken left or right lever.

What does Bend Zone do?

The blade is designed to absorb a crash and bend, which protects the lever body from damage.

Best For

Mountain, hybrid, and commuter riders on flat-bar bikes with mechanical disc or linear-pull brakes who want an adjustable, dependable lever pair.
