Earn up to Rs. 64.50 cashback with Club House
Description
The Tektro RL720 is a top-mount brake lever designed for caliper and cantilever rim brake systems. Built for cyclists who prefer traditional brake ergonomics — whether commuting through Chennai traffic, training on Pune's outskirts, or spinning up the Lonavala climb — this lever offers a familiar reach and a clean, reliable pull for everyday riding.
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 riders on rim-brake road or touring bikes, the Tektro RL720 fills a practical gap at an accessible price point. Its top-mount position suits recreational riders and commuters who prefer upright positioning. In India's varied conditions — patchy roads in Hyderabad, sudden stops in Delhi traffic, wet descents around Khandala — a predictable, well-engineered lever like this one makes real riding confidence easier to achieve.
Sizing for Indian Riders
The RL720 is designed for standard drop or flat handlebars in a top-mount position. European sizing conventions don't apply to brake levers — focus instead on handlebar clamp diameter compatibility. Riders with smaller hands may find the reach comfortable for casual riding, which suits many Indian recreational cyclists who prioritise comfort over aggressive positioning.
Compatibility Notes
The RL720 is compatible with caliper and cantilever rim brake systems only — it is not suitable for disc brakes, mechanical or hydraulic. Confirm your handlebar clamp diameter before fitting. Pair with quality brake cables and housings, and replace cables annually or after monsoon season to prevent corrosion affecting lever feel and braking response.
Pairs Well With
Complete your braking setup with compatible caliper or cantilever brake calipers, quality stainless brake cables and housing, handlebar tape that suits your riding style, and a cable cutter and cable end caps for a clean, safe finish.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Tektro RL720 best used for?
The Tektro RL720 is best suited for recreational cycling, commuting, and light touring on bikes equipped with caliper or cantilever rim brakes. Its top-mount lever position suits riders who ride in a more upright stance, making it a practical choice for city riding in places like Delhi, Chennai, or Pune where stop-start traffic is common.
How does Tektro RL720 sizing work — what should I check before ordering?
There is no clothing-style sizing for brake levers. The key check is handlebar clamp diameter — confirm your handlebar's diameter matches the RL720's clamp spec before ordering. Also consider the reach from the bar to the lever blade if you have smaller hands. When in doubt, contact Cobbled Climbs for guidance before purchase.
Will the Tektro RL720 hold up in monsoon conditions and Indian heat?
The RL720 is designed for everyday reliability, but monsoon riding accelerates cable and housing corrosion on any rim brake system. Replace brake cables and housing after each monsoon season to maintain crisp lever feel. The lever body itself handles humidity well; keeping it clean and dry after wet rides extends its service life.
How does the Tektro RL720 compare to inline or drop-bar brake levers?
Unlike drop-bar brake levers mounted on the curved section, the RL720 mounts on the flat top section of drop bars, allowing braking without moving hands to the drops. This suits riders who spend most time on the tops. It sacrifices some braking use versus a standard drop-bar lever position but improves comfort for upright riding styles.
Is the Tektro RL720 worth Rs. 1,290 in India, and what warranty applies?
At Rs. 1,290, the RL720 offers solid value for riders restoring or upgrading a rim-brake bike without spending on a full groupset. It is a dependable, no-frills component. Warranty terms are governed by Tektro's standard product policy — contact Cobbled Climbs for warranty support. Free delivery applies on orders above Rs. 2,500, and cash on delivery is available across India.
