Transfer Neo’s lever was designed to be as familiar feeling as possible. The rubber-coated thumb pad mimics the texture and distance from the handlebar of a regular Transfer lever, but with a shorter throw.

A shorter throw means the lever can be rotated further under the bar, avoiding lever contact with the rider’s thumb knuckle, while offering more ergonomic actuation. Haptic feedback from the lever ensures the rider senses when they’ve actuated their dropper post. 

The sleek packaging of the Transfer Neo lever allows it to sit just 36mm below the handlebar, 10mm less than the competition. This means less chance of contact between the lever and the bike’s top tube. For reference, the centre of the lever’s thumb pad sits just 27mm below the bar. 

With its low profile, short throw, light action and easy-access battery port, this lever is one of the standout features of Transfer Neo, and a favourite of FOX staff riders and athletes.
