Adjusting the brake handles
The TWIN RS is fitted with Swing’s Multigrip
brake handles, which allows the stiffness of the
grip area to be adjusted. The various options for
stiffening the brake handles allow them to be
altered to suit the pilot’s particular preferences.
There are 4 levels of stiffness possible using
various combinations of the stiffening options.
The pilot is able to choose the appropriate
degree of stiffness by simply taking out or
inserting the various parts.
