Which lever do I need?Updated 2 months ago

Not certain which lever you need for you set up? That's okay!

On our levers, we have our Drop bar lever for those bikes with curly bars, the Puget 1x or 2x MTB levers, and our snazzy Loam lever, which we would definitely recommend if you have a 1x drivetrain (one chainring in front).

The Puget 1x lever and Loam lever are both best suited for a 1x system, and are a horizontal shifter style. The Puget 1x will come with a 22.2mm clamp, and fit the majority of mountain bike handlebars.

The Loam Lever can be ordered with a direct mount adapter or you can go with the standard 22.2mm clamp if you are not sure or do not want to integrate with your brake levers, also comes in multiple color options!

The Puget 2x lever is vertical, and most commonly used for a 2x drivetrain system, as it doesn't interfere with the front shifter lever. Use this if you have more than one chain ring up front or if you have an E-Bike with a lot of controls on the bars taking up space or inhibiting you from running a 1x lever.

Our Drop Bar lever 24mm is for drop or road handlebars. It has a slightly larger diameter (24mm), and no hinge, so it can be run under bar tape.

Our Drop Bar lever 31.8mm clamp sits on top of the handlebars for those who prefer a top of bar grip similar to a mountain bike feel. Whether getting the saddle out of your way during CX race descents or, providing a little needed relief during the speedy burrito run from your local brewery, we got you.
