R&G Carbon Lever Guards

Designed to stop accidental brake engagement as well as to reduce damage to levers and riders in the event of close wheel to wheel racing, crash damage or a drop.

Made from Kevlar-reinforced carbon fibre, they are exceptionally strong and lightweight, featuring a groove to allow the hand to slip off the bar easily in the event of a fall.

Not only does the lever guard prevent the lever from accidental engagement, but also when traveling at high speeds an otherwise exposed brake lever undergoes frontal pressure caused by air resistance. This can result in up to 0.7-0.8 bar of pressure in the hydraulic system and can lead to unwanted application of the brakes, causing loss of speed and also brake wear and overheating issues. The guard has been designed to combat this effect and deflect air around the lever.
