Hi,

What levers are to look for if I want good modulation for my Saint brakes from year 2011 (not current ones)? Im not happy with Saint levers, too long and on off feeling. I had Hope brakes earlier and loved its modulation.

New Saint levers are too expensive for me so how about Zee, or XT, SLX?

If I want re-use old Saint levers on other bikes, are SLX/XT calipers good? Are there any difference between slx 675 and xt 785?

new style XT levers are something like 50$ on CR, cheap and they'll offer a similar feel ( maybe a a tad less snappy than the one you currently have ) but with a much more comfortable lever blade ... Zee, SLX or XT are roughly the same mines some adjustment but the Saint and XTR are both a 1 piece lever and provide a bit MOAR power. . .

Yeah any of those levers will work.

I've got some slx levers on some OLD original two pot saints on my dirtjumper and some zee levers on some dual saint calipers from last year on my dh bike. Both are a huge improvement.
