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.
