Most levers pick a side: light or stiff. The C1 refuses to choose. The body is forged first, so the metal grain is compressed into a structure that will not flex under a panic stop on a rough descent.

Then every pivot and every actuation surface is CNC-machined to micron-level tolerance. What you feel at the finger is only what should be there: a firm, smooth, repeatable pull.

The C1 is a short-pull lever, designed from day one as the other half of the JuinTECH Hybrid Hydraulic system. Its cable ratio is calculated to linearise the hydraulic push inside the caliper and remove the dead travel that a generic lever leaves behind.

Pair it with GTP-6, GTP-4, GTF-6, GTF-4, F1, F1-S or R1 and you get the full 100% of what those calipers can do. It also works with standard road calipers, so nothing on your bike is left out.

Small parts decide whether a component feels premium or merely fine. Every fixing bolt, every adjuster dial and every internal piece on the C1 is machined in our own factory in Taiwan. No outsourced hardware, no mystery tolerances.

The clamp is a quick-release design and the lever is ambidextrous: mount it left or right, front brake on whichever side you prefer. Upgrading at home takes minutes.

A reach adjust screw lets riders of every hand size find the sweet spot where the finger lands naturally. Six anodised colours let you match calipers, rotors and frame without compromise.

One more detail: flip the lever and read the laser-engraved Juin logo upside down. It becomes U!NL, short for UNLEASH! NEXT LEVEL. A small reminder, every time you look down.
