An important goal for Odyssey was to make the whole brake design system easier to install (and remove) without sacrificing performance. Odyssey also wanted to be sure that every component would be very affordable too.
The Springfield lever is easy to install and remove without having to wrestle grips on and off. An ordinary hinged clamp can be bulky and expensive so a new clamping design made specifically for die-casting was used. This approach keeps the lever reliable and affordable. The lever handle is the same comfortable shape as the proven Monolever Medium blade.
