Description
The Tektro CL740-B is a brake lever designed for linear pull (V-brake) systems with RapidFire shifter compatibility, making it a practical choice for hybrid, city, and touring bikes across India. Priced accessibly at Rs. 1,350, it suits riders in Pune, Delhi, and Chennai who want reliable stopping power without overspending on their build.
Use Cases
Daily training. Reliable use across Indian training conditions — heat, humidity, and rough tarmac.
Race day. Performance-grade construction for competitive efforts.
Long rides. Built for full-day rides across Western Ghats, Sahyadri, or Nilgiri climbs.
Our Take
For urban riders navigating Delhi's stop-start traffic or commuters tackling Pune's increasingly potholed roads, a dependable linear pull lever matters daily. The CL740-B pairs V-brake pulling power with RapidFire shifter integration, meaning you can run a clean, clutter-free cockpit without compromising braking feel. At this price point, it is one of the more sensible upgrades for hybrid and city bikes selected for Indian riding conditions.
Sizing for Indian Riders
Brake levers are not sized by hand size in the traditional sense, but reach adjustment matters greatly for Indian riders with varied hand spans. The CL740-B is designed for flat handlebars — confirm your bar diameter before ordering. Riders running drop bars or riser bars beyond standard flat-bar width should verify compatibility. Heat at 35°C+ does not affect lever function, but keep pivot points lubricated through monsoon months.
Compatibility Notes
This lever is specifically designed for linear pull (V-brake) rim brake systems and is compatible with RapidFire shifter/lever combos. It is not suitable for caliper, cantilever, disc, or hydraulic brake systems. Confirm your brake caliper type before purchasing. Works with standard flat handlebars. Pair with quality V-brake pads for best modulation.
Pairs Well With
Complete your braking setup with V-brake compatible brake pads, stainless brake cables and housing for monsoon corrosion resistance, bar tape or ergonomic grips suited to flat bars, and a quality multi-tool for lever reach adjustment on the road.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Tektro CL740-B best used for?
The CL740-B is best suited for hybrid, city, and touring bikes running linear pull (V-brake) rim brake systems. It is ideal for Indian urban riders in Delhi, Chennai, or Pune who need consistent braking in stop-start traffic and want RapidFire shifter integration on a flat-bar setup, all at an accessible price point.
What size or handlebar type does the Tektro CL740-B fit?
The CL740-B is designed for standard flat handlebars. It is not compatible with drop bars or bullhorn bars. Before ordering, confirm your handlebar type and that your brake system is a V-brake or linear pull design. Reach adjustment on the lever helps accommodate riders with smaller or larger hand spans.
Will the Tektro CL740-B hold up in monsoon conditions and Indian heat?
Yes, with basic maintenance. Lubricate the pivot points regularly during India's monsoon season to prevent corrosion and stiffness. Using stainless steel brake cables and quality housing will extend the system's lifespan significantly. At 35°C+ temperatures, the lever itself is unaffected, though rim brake pad performance in wet conditions requires careful modulation on descents.
How does the Tektro CL740-B compare to a standard brake lever without RapidFire compatibility?
The CL740-B's RapidFire compatibility means it integrates cleanly with Shimano RapidFire shifter units, keeping your cockpit tidy without needing separate clamp-on shifters. A standard lever without this compatibility would require separate shifter mounts. For riders building or upgrading a flat-bar commuter or hybrid, the CL740-B is a more functional and cleaner choice.
Is the Tektro CL740-B worth Rs. 1,350 in India?
At Rs. 1,350 with free delivery on orders above Rs. 2,500, the CL740-B represents strong value for hybrid and city bike riders. Tektro is a manufacturer that supplies OEM brake components to major global brands, so the quality exceeds what budget-tier alternatives typically offer. For a commuter or touring build on Indian roads, it is a sensible, cost-effective upgrade.
