I bend many clutch levers, but usually I can manage to put them straight again with the nylon-head hammer... I break one or two every year...(with the yamaha Wr I had previously they broke more often than they bent)
I think they are very very handy if you practice enduro with "close to trial" areas ( well, it's more like trying to prectice) ...
I've never broken a lever for falling with some speed, the clamp just rotates on the handelbar... but when I fall from a rock or trying to climb a steep slope where you have no room to take speed, and I cant hol the bike... breaking the a lever I son easy ...
I dont know if many people wold buy them 'couse the closed handwards usually work, but still many people prefere the open ones...
I think it's worthed to try....
