Lever reach
When reaching the lever is difficult, its position is a practical starting point for assessment.
GripAdapt
GripAdapt
GripAdapt is an adapter for positioning a brake lever closer to the hand. It was developed around Magura HS levers.
The lever model, handlebar and available space must be checked before selection and installation. GripAdapt is not an electronic brake or a companion control.

About the product
Get to know GripAdapt
Check the lever model
Tell us which Magura HS lever you have. Include a photograph and model name if you need help checking compatibility.
Adapter or complete package
Request GripAdapt or ask about a Magura HS brake with GripAdapt. The quote will clarify components and compatibility.
Assess reach and operation together
Hand reach, handlebar grip and the lever model all matter. Describe what is difficult with the current arrangement.
Request installation information for the specific combination. Changes to the bicycle braking setup must be checked before use.
When the need goes beyond reach
For electronic operation or companion control, explore SmartBrake as a separate product solution.
SmartBrake controllers require a compatible SmartBrake system. They do not connect directly to a standard brake.
