The lever is basically the main unit, so much has improved.
Now I'm more satisfied than with Dura.
The braking feel has improved so much, and even a slight grip triggers instant braking.
One-finger braking is very convenient.
Actually, I'm used to the existing D1, and habitually tried light braking before entering corners,
but it brakes suddenly, which surprised me. The braking power has improved so much that it takes some time to get used to it.
With the piston position change, the top of the lever (aka the head..) also became smaller,
so the grip is very good.
It's still larger than Shimano, but the new 9270 Dura lever is a bit small and feels insufficient, so for me, the E1 lever size is perfectly satisfying.
It's also convenient to grip here and cruise.(+With the hidden button, I can shift too, which is really great.)
The downside is that it's still quite expensive.
Even if you want to buy the most entry-level Rival lever, you have to pay 40-50 thousand for used ones.
And Red and Force, what...ㅠㅠ
Force seems like a good choice.
Rival is missing the hidden button, and the feel from the naming is a bit disappointing..
It comes with the hidden button just like Red, and the weight difference is only 3g,
so at this point I think it's within the margin of error.(Isn't it about the level of sock types when riding?^^;;)
It's already a widely known fact that E1 is good,
but for those still wondering.. I strongly recommend E1.
For the rest, you can actually match D1 at a lower price.
I hear that the E1 caliper spacing is wider, making rotor alignment easier..
Well, you just need to align more carefully, haha,,
Front derailleur trimming also got a similar function update in D1, so there's no disappointment..
If you just change the lever, I think there's nothing left to envy.
