OAK-Performance – For your Shimano brakes!
Now also suitable for Gravity brakes from Shimano.
Experience the perfect combination of stability, stiffness, ergonomics and impressive looks. For the decisive advantage, ride after ride.

Ergonomics for less fatigue:
Our engineers and team riders have worked intensively on the OAK SH brake lever and have once again surpassed the already good ergonomics of the original Shimano brake levers. Through numerous tests and optimizations, we have succeeded in developing a brake lever that reduces the strain on your hands. The unique Grip-Face surface offers optimal grip even in wet or sweaty hands. The shape of the lever wraps around your brake finger like a hook and prevents it from slipping out of your finger in extreme cases. The decisive difference to stay confident on the bike.

Stability and durability:
All OAK SH brake levers are milled from a high-strength aluminium alloy and offer excellent stability due to the well thought-out design.
The OAK SH brake lever convinces and survives even heavy falls usually unscathed, without bending or breaking off. It is also easy to disassemble and service.

Increased stiffness for maximum performance:
The unique design around the filigree bags makes the production complex, but allows for the extremely stiff construction. You can feel this stiffness directly when braking through a more direct power transmission, which makes the brake easier to modulate. You'll love the control of your brakes!

OAK bearing bushings for minimal lever play:
Thanks to the included bearing bushings (for Saint and XTR), we create an almost backlash-free feeling on your brakes. Manufacturing to tight tolerances is time-consuming, but worth every penny! Bushings and springs are available as spare parts and guarantee easy maintenance of your brake system.

Stronger torsion springs: Reduced traction and less noise
The OAK SH brake lever uses a stronger preload spring that securely preloads the lever in its starting position. In this way, we ensure that the lever stays in its defined position in the event of a hard landing or vibrations and that you never reach into the void. The springs reduce the initial finger force to apply the brake. Due to the reduced play and the stronger spring, the OAK SH brake lever returns to the starting position with more damping and therefore a little slower. This does not have a negative effect on your braking points, as the spring is completely relaxed when the lever is released. Only in the further course does it muster its strength.

Look that impresses:
Not only functional, but also visually a highlight: The OAK SH brake levers turn your brake into a designer piece. The elegant and sporty design attracts attention and gives your bike an individual, high-quality look.
