Luxembourg based manufacturer Gilles Tooling's RCT gear and brake lever kit is said to be "the perfect mix of high-end design and functionality. With their red and titanium coloured accents, they look great in any colour combination on the Multistrada".
Noted for attention to detail and ergonomics, Gilles Tooling’s design features an adjustable toe piece that lets the lever adapt to every kind of rider; a rolling toe piece on the gearshift lever makes smoother shifting gears; and an ultra-grip toe piece on the brake lever to ensure a safe and positive braking feel. The gearshift can be customised to reduce gear-change travel with change points pre-set by using the company’s turning joints system and the ergonomic touring footpegs.
Their "Maximum Performance Lever" (MPL) is described as a "design triumph" with optimum handle length and shape for all applications. Double ball bearings instead of plain bearing bushings are said to deliver superior precision and response. The lever length can be tuned with a smooth, precise adjuster, and the length of the brake lever can even be adjusted while riding, using an optional remote control.
The MPL clutch lever has a special feature for converting the Bowden-Cable mounts, so both the lever ratio and response of Bowden-Cable clutches can be adjusted. The coloured inserts on the lever ends can be changed on request.
Also seen here Gilles Tooling’s new 2D.GT adjustable handlebar risers for the Multistrada allow height and reach adjustment of the handlebar and give a completely new geometry and ergonomics appearance and options to the fixed-position OEM set-up, both in height and in reach. They are for use with the factory handlebars where a height of up to 24mm can be reached.
