FP racing levers vs pazzo/crg

[uglyducky]

anyone have any thoughts on or experience with these?  i got them in the stealth (matte black) but am not sure if i love them or not.  haven't installed yet and considering just going with the pazzos i initially ordered.

You mean these? wwaatttt. I love them, except one of the bolts they use are rusting. but the level 3 anodizing is SUPER tough. ive grazed them wit ha screw driver by accident and not a mark.

These FP racing levers are backed with ridiculous LIFETIME warranty from an ebay selling
they say if you break it they will replace them. which is insane.

I dont know if that's true though.
they look nice

the replacement is only if they fail to pivot i nthe event of a crash. if it does pivot and grind down, it did its job and u can buy a new blade.

pretty dope if u ask me.

[uglyducky]

i got the racing levers (no pivot) and am not sure if they carry the same guarantee. 

[He Man]

i doubt it. they will snap just like any other lever if you put force on them. the pivots will pay for themsleves in just 1 fall. unless u have shortys. but i dont like shortys.

From aesthetics perspective, FP logo on the adjuster would have to go for me. The "Stealth" looks nice.

yeah, i second that.  i asked if it were possible to get blank adjusters (it's not).  but i got the adjuster in silver so the logo doesn't stand out as much.

It says they will pivot up OR DOWN in the event of a crash.....


sounds sketchy to me. What keeps it from folding down while im riding and braking hard?

[He Man]

theres a split ball built into it and it will not fold unless it breaks. aka there has to be significant amount of force to casue the breakage before it will fold. u cant fold it by hand.

[avizpls]

o well how am i gonna show it off then? 

I'd rather have the standard "folds up, not down" style

[pennyrobber]

I have a set of the FP's. The quality is great and the folding feature is a nice bonus. I don't see why it matters what direction the lever folds in. The FP's can fold either way and as I see it, the way the bike goes down and the direction it's sliding is going to determine the direction the lever will likely fold.

[He Man]

mines broken, it keeps folding toward the grips.

I've heard of this problem. It makes the bike loose power and tries to pitch you forward.

[He Man]

yea, you have this problem too?

when im trying to go really fast and my levers fold, my engine all of a sudden feels like it hit a brick and is running on water (which i think isnt combustible, but im not scientsit). i dont know what to do. I heard the non folding levers dont do this.'
