OAK SH Brake Lever Blade Set - fits Shimano
OAK Performance - for your Shimano brake!
Ergonomics & grip:
Thanks to intensive development work, the lever offers improved ergonomics compared to the original. The grip face surface ensures a secure hold even in wet conditions, while the hook-like shape prevents slipping – for more control and less fatigue.
Stability & durability:
Milled from high-strength aluminium alloy, the OAK SH usually survives even hard falls undamaged. The well-thought-out design allows for easy maintenance thanks to simple disassembly.
Maximum stiffness:
A sophisticated design with delicate pockets ensures high rigidity and more direct power transmission – for precise modulation and optimised brake control.
Virtually play-free feel:
The included OAK bearing bushings (for Saint and XTR) significantly reduce lever play. Precise manufacturing ensures consistent performance over time, and replacement parts are available.
Stronger torsion springs:
A stronger preload spring holds the lever securely in position, reduces pulling force when braking and minimises noise – without compromising function.
Design statement:
The OAK SH brake lever not only impresses with its functionality, but also with its elegant, sporty look, which gives your bike an individual, high-quality appearance.

We have answers to your questions
No, it is not compatible with these brake models.
Officially, our SH brake lever is not approved for installation on these brakes. Depending on the model and production date of the brake master, the SH brake lever may have some axial play. It is also possible that the pin has too large of a diameter and needs to be ground down in order to fit through the borehole. With some patience and craftsmanship, installation is possible. However, we can only recommend using one of the compatible brakes, preferably an XTR BL-M9120 or a Saint BL-M820 in combination with our custom bushings. Also, please be aware that we cannot take back modified lever blades or provide Shimano spare parts.
Our SH brake lever is preloaded with a strong torsional spring. This reduces the force required when pulling the brake and reliably keeps the brake lever in its initial position. In some configurations, the high spring rate may cause the lever to return to its starting position only very slowly. For these cases, we have included weaker springs with each brake lever set. They are coated in black so they can be easily distinguished from the standard springs.
If the stable SH lever is actually damaged in a fall, we ask you to contact our customer support.
Please use our warranty and crash replacement form.

Press reviews
It was a difficult task to improve an already ergonomic brake lever. But we succeeded: the OAK SH brake levers combine improved modulation and performance with ergonomics and durability.
OAK brake levers offer practical details such as the OAK Grip Face – small dimples on the front that give your fingers better grip when braking. These levers perfectly combine stability, rigidity, ergonomics and attractive design, enhancing both function and appearance.
Customer Reviews
This is my second OAK lever set, and I’m genuinely impressed with how much the brand has stepped up over the past few years. The packaging feels premium, the included stickers are high quality, and the attention to detail on the levers themselves is outstanding. Installation is straightforward thanks to the supplied tools, and the fitment is spot-on. The price may be on the higher side, but for a product of this quality, it feels absolutely worth it.
Also ich hab jetzt die Hebeln fast vier Monate drauf und muss sagen bin sehr begeistert sehr gute Qualität. Mir ist jetzt eine Feder kaputtgegangen. Mein Gott ist dumm gelaufen und ich habe nachgefragt wegen einer Fehler ohne Probleme. Ohne irgendeinen großen Heckmeck bekomme ich eine neue Vierer ich kann’s jedem empfehlen sehr gutes Team. Sehr nett sehr schnelle Antwort und die Qualität der Griffe für mich einfach unschlagbar Wenn ich könnte, würde ich auch zehn Sterne geben. Lg Mario
Used these all summer through about 20 different bike parks. Obviously these have the cool bling factor, but they are extremely functional as well.
Ive been using Shimano brakes exclusively for 10+ years, and I really like the the brakes to engage fully almost right at the bar, so I run my brakes as close to the bar as possible. The hook of these levers sits really well in between my first and second finger, meaning I can run them much closer without interference or hitting my middle finger. It gives me much better control, especially on steep tech and significantly reduces arm pump.
The reach adjust is also notched, so its easy to quickly dial in the perfect reach - I have the rear brake one click out farther than the front brake. Are they expensive? Yes. Would I recommend them? Yes. Did I just order another set for my DJ bike? Absolutely.
Fahre die Oak an allen Rädern. Das beste Upgrade meiner Meinung nach. Qualitativ hochwertig und optisch unschlagbar
