I installed this new PRO version on my 2017 KTM 350 XCF that has a Rekluse Radius CX auto clutch (my favorite thing on any bike) last week. Super easy install. Took two rides so far. - First ride I had a hard time adjusting to it, kept grabbing clutch instead and it was too hard to get to brake handle. Was about to give up but said to myself, no give this a fair chance. Focused on just using brake for the rest of the day. Got better, and more used to it. Realizing I wasn't using clutch at all with no issues. So when I got home I made some adjustments, raised the clutch way up, and raised the brake handle up to a natural position. - Second ride, OMG, I am in LOVE!!!!! Lever position is key. This hydra pro GREATLY increased my braking modulation, speed, and control. No SKIDDING if I didn't want to, but it will lock up the wheel no problem. I found that with the foot break on the super fast trails it was just too hard not to mash my foot down and lock up the wheel. But with this it is a natural brake feel, like riding a mountain bike. It gave me a lot more confident racing on the trails knowing my stopping was going to be more predictable. Going fast in the woods isn't all about twisting the throttle, but more about knowing how to slow down properly. I was able to legitimately hang with two riders A class riders on this second ride, whereas they would always pull ahead of me before. I was so psyched about that. It also allows me to ride standing up easier as now I don't have to worry about foot braking from a standing position. A few notes: 1. I didn't receive the wire in my package, so I had to use zip ties to seal the rubber boot. That's fine as I actually prefer them. (you also may need to trim the length of the boot.) 2. Don't use the foot brake and this at the same time as you will get hydraulic feedback. 3. I had to put the tightening nut all the way up to the top as if it was any any lower I couldn't get the foot lever on. But that may be because I have my foot brake lower than the peg. 4. I zip tied the cable to the frame sort of under the plastic to protect it from getting rubbed on by my boot. All in all, I can't recommend this enough if you have an auto clutch, it's a serious game changer! Thank you so much Chuck, this is an AWESOME product!
I have a Rekluse CX on my "19 350 SX-F with the left rear handbrake. Same setup on my new '22 350 XC-F. I do not use the clutch so i have it rolled out of the way, and have the handbrake in the best ergonomic position. I removed the stock clutch lever and use a similar brake lever as the clutch (you have to have some sort of clutch in place to be able to check Rekluse "gap" with the rev). Its smaller and allows for better positioning for both levers at the bar.
@@mikeylee3017 yeah that's the same thing I do... However I also have an Alta mxr electric dirt bike and on that one I installed a regular brembo master cylinder as the left hand rear brake, and totally got rid of the foot break and oh my goodness that thing breaks so smooth and easy it's like heaven compared to the ox break it's not even close comparison night and day. If I didn't have to keep the clutch on my 350 I would totally switch over to that as a left-hand rear brake as it's night and day better than the ox brake pro. Only problem is the brembo master cylinder is way too big to have two of them on the bar at the same time they wouldn't fit.
Sweet Jesus- who is that old timer. He’s a straight beast. That’s the guy you want looking out for ya when shit goes sideways. If I was a wealthy racer I would beg him to be my tech and tell him to name his price. And he would tell me to kick rocks no doubt.
Thanks man! No, everything is good. This was installed by the owner of ox so I’m confident it’s correct. It does route outside of the frame for a sec. It’s the 4strokes that have to be super careful and stay outside.
I'm currently trying to enhance my riding experience by optimizing the efficiency of my left hand rear dirtbike brake. I've noticed that it doesn't seem to provide as much friction as I believe it should, meaning the wheel isn't held as firmly as I'd like when the brake is applied. I know that several factors could influence this, including the brake pads' condition, the rotor's condition, and the brake fluid's quality. I've checked all these and everything seems to be in good order, which leads me to think that there might be an issue with the brake's configuration or setup. Has anyone else experienced this issue, and if so, how did you resolve it? Are there any recommendations for specific brake models or configurations that provide better friction and wheel hold? Is there a specific brake bleeding technique that might enhance the brake's efficiency? Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Why this is only for a 2 stroke? Can you explain me Please the reason and the difference? Why I cant use it on a 4 stroke (exc 350 20212 from germany) Thank you
You can use on either. They are telling you that the routing of the line has to be different for 2 and 4 strokes because you will melt through the nylon brake line and the rear brake will fail.
The first part of the vid he's putting it on a 4-stroke, the second part is a 2-stroke. The only difference in installation is the routing of the cable so it doesn't melt....
This looks awesome...but I want it on my right hand side ..and front brake on the left ...been riding bmx / mtbs for 40yrs...rear brake is ALWAYS been right handed ...would this system work like this.???
I feel you it definitely would feel better on the right like it is for pedal bikes but unfortunately the right side is your throttle not sure but I think it’s not possible because of that I’m ok with it on the left anything is better than nothing

I know what i am getting myself for Christmas, very cool product!
How are you Liking it long term
Is it easier to wheelie with a hand brake?
Good job, did your cable burn up on your muffler yet? Cause it will unless ya route it outside your frame , and underthe frame guardes
Thanks man! No, everything is good. This was installed by the owner of ox so I’m confident it’s correct. It does route outside of the frame for a sec. It’s the 4strokes that have to be super careful and stay outside.
Were did you procure the cable guides attached by the zip ties?
Mine has lost all pressure. How do you bleed this thing?
Will this work on a YZ 250?
I just installed a Rekluse Radius CX on my 2020 Beta 390 RRS. I'd love to have this product on my bike but it like you don't offer it for Beta. True?

dude, just get it, it's a total GAME CHANGER!!!!
We have customers that have mounted it to the right side. Please email us @ support@oxbrake.com for photos, or with any other questions. Thanks!
