What's the advantage of shorter leavers other than aesthetics? Do they take more effort to operate than longer levers due to there being less distance to the pivot?


I have short levers on mine too btw, was just wondering.


Cheers

There isn't any benefit other than comfort. I personally only use 2 fingers to brake so it's nicer to use a shorty than a full length lever. It really just comes down to personal preference

Apart from the adjustable span which is a real bonus i haven't noticed any increase in pull strength, as above i too use two fingers for clutch and brake but it's strange that the brake feels so much better with the short levers, don't know why it just does.
