Abstract:
1. A control device for a bicycle with curved handlebars, comprising a support body fixable to the handlebars of the bicycle, and a brake lever pivoted to the support body, a resisting arm of which, in use, integrally moves with an end of a brake cable, the support body having a grippable distal-upper projection, the brake lever having a first actuation area and a second actuation area, wherein the first actuation area is associated with a first condition of use where the support body is gripped, and the second actuation area is associated with a second condition of use where the projection is gripped, wherein a pivot pin of the brake lever is below and at a first distance from an upper surface of the support body between 0 and 15 mm, a distance between the pivot pin of the brake lever and a point of integral movement of the brake cable and the brake lever is between 20 and 30 mm, and the brake lever has a curvilinear progression that extends an entire length of the lever, wherein from an end attached to the support body to a free end of the brake lever, the curvilinear progression consists of: a first convexity towards a distal side having a first radius of curvature for a first distance, a first concavity towards the distal side having a second radius of curvature for a second distance, a second convexity towards the distal side having a third radius of curvature for a third distance, and a second concavity towards the distal side having a fourth radius of curvature for a fourth distance.
