Add or replace a single drop-bar brake control without a shifter. This is the left-hand SRAM Rival 1 brake lever - a brake-only lever built for 1x drivetrains, singlespeed builds and bikes that shift from the bar-end or downtube, bringing SRAM RED-derived ergonomics to a more accessible price.

Highlights

• Single left-hand brake lever - no shift paddle
• ErgoFit ergonomic design carried over from SRAM RED
• Forged aluminium lever blade with textured hood body for confident grip
• Tool-adjustable reach for a custom fit to any hand size
• Ideal as a replacement or for a single-lever build

Ergonomics and control

The ErgoFit shape uses a longer lever blade, a reduced-diameter textured body and an optimised hood for easy finger wrap and a smooth transition to the bar. Independent Reach Adjust lets you dial the blade closer to the bar for smaller hands or to suit your braking style.

Mechanical, cable-actuated

This is a mechanical (cable) lever using a road brake cable head and short-pull cable ratio. It is compatible with most road caliper, cantilever and mechanical (cable) road disc brakes - it does not actuate hydraulic calipers.

Fit and compatibility

Designed for drop (road) handlebars. Because there is no shifter, gearing is handled separately by bar-end, downtube or thumb shifters. This single lever is the left-hand unit; in an Australian setup the left lever operates the rear brake. Order the right lever separately, or choose the pair, if you need both sides.
