When you are slapping the saddle down almost as often as changing gears, you want to ensure that you have a sharp actuation with no hesitation or doubt in your mind that it won’t lower out of the way.
The folks down at cSixx have tried and tested almost all the levers on the market, integrating what they liked into theirs and found solutions to issues that they had with others.
Their main areas of focus were primarily the lever feel and secondly ease of use/fitment.
Cable Routing:
Intuitive cable routing for ease if installation.
Responsive Feel:
Designed to eliminate cable slack and ensure direct actuation
Material & Hardware:
CNC machined aluminium construction with an oversized pivot bearing adds a combination of rigidity and a smooth feel to your ride.
Barrel Adjuster:
Fine-tune to achieve your desired actuation point.
Construction:
A CNC machined Body and Lever are attached together with a MAX Bearing and XL Chainring bolt. They have added an Extra Long adjustment screw to take up any slack, even if installed badly at the bottom of the post. This allows you to fine-tune the bite point and keep it there with the double locking mechanism. There is a cable guide that allows for super easy installation and hides the end neatly, out of sight behind the lever.
Mounting Options:
Can be mounted to SRAM Matchmaker or our optional bar clamp.
They designed the body to be SRAM Matchmaker compatible as it is the most versatile standard. Additionally, they have made a bar clamp for riders not running SRAM brakes. These 2 mounting options should allow anyone to fit their lever to their bars. cSixx will be making adapters later down the line for all types of other brakes on the market like Shimano, Magura, Hope, and others. These will get made in priority of the number of requests they get – so drop them a message.
All will be cross-compatible and the only item you will need to purchase is a small adapter.

Slapped one on my ebike and I must say the thumb size feels great (if thats a thing ) and operates smoother than the Fox I had on. Installation was dead easy with the screw-in bolt at the button. Looks great. They could have made the thumb bit with groves to add grip , if I had to be really picky.
