All ASV levers feature a special pivot design that allows the lever to fold out of the way in the event of a crash or fall. They simply pivot outwards and spring back.
The pivot junction has a precision sealed bearing for zero play and precision feel. By simply turning the 180 increment micro index thumbwheel on the lever the reach can be adjusted through 4 inches to accommodate different sized hands. "Shorty" levers also available, 1.25 inches shorter than stock.
