Description
Front brake feel disappears fast once a lever starts flexing or binding at the pivot, and ProTaper addressed that on Yamaha and Kawasaki platforms with the XPS Front Brake Lever. Its Cross Pivot System keeps the lever slim and low profile while allowing it to absorb impact instead of bending permanently, which matters on bikes that go down often on rocky or root-covered trails. A CNC-machined clevis ties the lever to the perch with a precision fit that eliminates the wobble stock stamped levers tend to develop.
Features and Benefits
- Cross Pivot System keeps the lever slim and virtually unbendable
- CNC-machined clevis provides an exact, play-free fit at the perch
- Tool-less reach adjustment dial gives 20mm of tunability for glove thickness and hand size
- Fitted rubber boot shields the XPS assembly from mud and dust
- Backed by ProTaper’s manufacturer lifetime warranty against bending
Built for Yamaha and Kawasaki front brake perches, this lever installs as a direct swap for the factory piece without any modification. Riders who ride technical, rocky sections where crashes are frequent will get real value out of not replacing a bent lever every few outings. IPD Racing keeps this SKU stocked for quick shipment when a lever needs replacing.
