Description
– A motorcycle brake lever assembly, including the pull rod and handlebar, is a crucial part of the braking system that allows the rider to control the motorcycle’s stopping power.
– The brake lever, typically located on the handlebar, is the interface where the rider applies force.
– This force is then transmitted through the pull rod (or cable) to the brake mechanism, which applies pressure to the brake pads or shoes, ultimately slowing down or stopping the motorcycle.
Key Features:
Brake Lever:
The lever is the part of the assembly that the rider physically manipulates to activate the brakes. It’s designed to provide leverage, multiplying the rider’s input force.
Pull Rod/Cable:
This component transmits the force from the lever to the brake mechanism. It can be a cable (for mechanical brakes) or a hydraulic line (for hydraulic brakes).
Handlebar:
The brake lever is mounted on the handlebar, providing a secure and ergonomic platform for the rider to operate the controls.
Types of Brake Systems:
Hydraulic Disc Brakes:
These systems use a master cylinder and fluid to transmit force, offering powerful and smooth braking.
Mechanical Disc Brakes:
These systems use cables and levers to actuate the brakes, known for being reliable and easier to maintain.
