Wonder why the need to split in 2?

Do both halves have the same cam profile?

They do...

The two half-levers close securely as one piece in the conventional way, with a nice broad platform to stop the bruising your hand. The cunning bit is that you can open each lever sequentially, effectively halving the effort needed – not essential, but you appreciate them when you’re knackered.


From bike radar review. Seems pointless as if same profile the second one would be as stiff and thinner?

Don't have QR on any of my bikes.
