Mcs Brake M/cyl Upgrade

I upgraded from a 2016 R to a 2018 RS.

If it's agreement you're looking for, then yes, both brake (and clutch lever) are better in terms of finish, feel and adjustability. I've kept the 19:21 adjuster in the 19 position which suits me fine.

I swapped my 2016 R levers for CNC billet levers (eBay variety) and was surprised how much better the originals were when I refitted them before selling. So for me, the MCS 19:21 levers on the RS are perfect - it's almost a relief not to feel compelled to search out an aftermarket 'upgrade'.

Have you got a price for the parts - it looks like £342 for both assemblies on World of Triumph?

I'm not sure that it's going to feel £342 better than what you have

 

I wouldn't say it was a massive improvement - although the comparison is between a two year old R and a brand new RS...and it was two years ago. I'd say that the RS lever action is more positive and the brake lever is firmer and bites sooner (even on the 19 setting).

To add to the confusion, the clutch lever wasn't lubricated properly and/or were overtightened at the factory (causing the well-documented clutch slip) and the pads are part of a recall that I'm having fixed on Friday. Mine have gone squelchy in the last month...apparently the pad breaks away from the backing plate.

Other than that - they're much better

I can definitely say that black looks nicer than the raw silver aluminium

 

I'm sure it's limited to 2018 to 2020 models - although when I say "limited', that just the entire production run over two years (globally) of Tigers, Streets and Speeds that use those pads

If you're up for a little spend-up, then I don't think you'l be disappointed with the result...they are much 'nicer'
