About the product
Get to know SmartBrake Wireless
Different controls
The Wireless manual describes a handheld control, brake lever and thumb brake. The relevant control and its position must be assessed for the setup.
Brake when pressed
Wireless applies braking when the control is pressed. This differs from Switch, which applies braking when the grip is released.
Choose the control for the rider
Describe the movement the rider can make, how they hold the bicycle and whether a companion will participate. Assess the controller together with the bicycle’s other brakes.
The controls are parts of a SmartBrake system and do not connect directly to an ordinary standard brake. Provide the bicycle model, existing brakes and intended setup before requesting a quote.
Use the instructions for your version
Wireless has its own instructions for use. Select documentation by variant and serial number; Hybrid and Switch use different operating principles.
Activate the system and test controller function before use as described in the manual. Training, installation and checks must be considered when choosing the setup.
