HRD Shift-Brake System<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

All new hood ergonomics are now available for Force. This system has stiffer calipers, one-finger braking from the hoods and drops, Bonus Buttons, and texture to easily locate and actuate the buttons and controls. The improvements made resulted from over four years of rider feedback, giving an even wider range of riders the same level of comfort and control while also eliminating the possibility of finger pinch under hard braking. Less effort, less hand fatigue, a lighter feel and more comfortable, powerful braking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
