Safe Braking Starts with the Right Reach
GripAdapt brings the brake lever closer to the hand, making it easier to brake safely and comfortably – without replacing the existing braking system.
Small Hands Deserve Full Control
For many children and adults with small hands, limited reach, or reduced hand function, a standard brake lever can be difficult to access. GripAdapt moves the brake lever up to 30 mm closer to the handlebar, making braking easier and more comfortable without changing the braking system.
- Up to 30 mm shorter reach to the brake lever
- Maintains the original braking performance and feel
- Simple and cost-effective solution
Installed in Minutes
GripAdapt mounts directly onto the existing brake lever without opening, modifying, or replacing any brake components. You keep your original brakes and braking performance while bringing the lever closer to the hand.
- No modification of the braking system required
- Maintains the original braking performance and feel
- Ready to use within minutes
Compatible with All Magura HS Brake Levers
GripAdapt is currently designed for Magura HS brake levers. We are also working to expand compatibility to additional brake systems where the clamp around the handlebar can be opened in two parts. If your brake lever is not currently supported, contact us at post@smartgroup.no. We may be able to provide a customized GripAdapt solution at no additional cost. post@smartgroup.no om du ønsker en GripAdapt tilpasset din hendel uten ekstra kostnad.

Need More Than a Shorter Reach?
GripAdapt helps when the challenge is reaching the brake lever. However, some cyclists may need support beyond lever reach, such as reduced hand strength, limited hand function, or the need for assistance while riding.
SmartBrake offers a range of adapted braking solutions designed for different functional needs, including low-force brake controls, thumb-operated braking, and wireless companion controls.
Viktig å vite: Important: These solutions require a SmartBrake braking system and cannot be fitted to standard brake systems.
When a standard brake lever requires too much force to operate. Developed for cyclists with reduced hand strength, endurance, or grip function.
Designed for cyclists who have better control and strength in their thumb than in the rest of the hand. Provides accessible braking through a simple thumb movement.
Allows a parent, companion, therapist, or assistant to apply the brakes remotely when needed. Adds an extra layer of safety while supporting the cyclist's independence and confidence.
With the SmartBrake Builder, you can easily provide information about your bicycle and your individual needs. Tell us about your bike and how you ride, and we will help you find the solution that fits best.
