Can any one suggest the least bulky hydraulic brake lever. Length opposite the lever is especially crucial. Fore and aft length not so. Short levers good. Weight important as is weight of caliper. effectiveness not so. Better than a cable disc on drops is all thats needed.
The Magura rim brake levers look good but I assume they wouldn't push a disc calpier.

Probably anything except Hope; Magura, Shimano or Hayes Stroker jump to mind.

the new XTR are really small & a fraction of the size of the older Shimano brakes.
Had mine around a month now & I'm very happy

Hope Race, smaller again than the old Mono Mini, much lighter too when you have the Race disc as well.
