I want to know what are the best levers for riding track and i prefer long levers!
There are so many brands and I need help with picking new levers for my panigale.
 
Love my cnc racing lever on my 1299 panigale and love my gilles tooling on my S1000R and S1000RR. Main differences are that on the CNC racing lever they adjust 1-6 so if anyone re-adjusts the lever you can always put them back to where you like them. But there are some empty spots on adjustments. With Gilles Tooling you spin a wheel and adjust them to your specs. Downside is if someone adjusts them it will be hard to put them back to where you had them since they are adjustable from beginning to end with no dead spots unlike with the cnc racing or any adjustable lever that say 1-6. But both the cnc racing and gilles tooling are top notch and I would recommend both. It depends how anal you are
 
i like the lightech aka brembro levers with the cut out. love how they look and feel. its the same lever. have them on all 3 of my bikes but get what feels best to you.
 
i use crg carbon levers (short) like the look of it quite pricy tho
 
I have the CRG carbon levers. aesthetically, they are about as good as levers get imo. However, their "infinite adjustment" feature is anything but.
 
i had crg carbon but they were anything but adjustable like the previous poster said. when i upgraded to brembro on my track bike i put the same lever on all my bikes.
 
I use the Brembo Racing RCS setup (long version). Great feel and break-away up/down in case you accidentally drag more than your elbow. Also offers a good amount of adjust ability and can be setup with a remote adjuster for the MC on the left handlebar if you happen to get a little brake fade while pushing the limits on the track.

I've track tested the viability in a crash :eek: and it pushed up and had minimal grinding/damage. It's a solid setup and if you are using one of the RCS front masters, it is a must have just for the adjustment options.
 
Im running Evotech Performance ones. For me they feel nicer under the finger than OE ones plus they look good. Had several comments on they look nice and who are they. I have the long folding set. I rate all evotechs stuff very easy to fit especially the radiator guards. They borrow bikes from local dealers to measure stuff up so it all fits! They use Ducatis from Italia Moto in lincoln.

I recently tested their axle spindle protectors on my triumph last month. Worked as advertised!

I remember read about Jonny Rea testing and riding the RCV. The engineers asked for some feed back after his first ride out regarding riding position, initial feel. He said in passing about the brake lever had an edge on it he didn't like. Next morning he came in, a brand new brake lever had been machined over night and was fitted. HRC asked for feed back on its feel! He couldn't believe they made him one and that somewhere in an HRC parts list is brake lever with his name in the part number!

All about the feel. Feel good go fast!

LOL ive been bashing the crg carbons non stop because of that ........ statement. When they first came out i was in love and paid the premium for them but when i went to adjust them i soon realized i got had. They are by far the worst for adjustments when it comes to AM levers.

So true! Its kind of like when you put on nice suit vs a mediocre suit, when you're in the nice suit i can guarantee you feel way more confident even though the suit does nothing to your thinking

If I don't wear a back protector, I feel naked as the day I was born despite having a one piece suit on no confidence what so ever. With a back protector on it feels like I can take on Isis!
