Tighter, as expected, than the original, with adjustments to set it to your weight, good feel, does the job just fine. Of course, it doesn't have the velvety operation of the original, but it's good. 4 months later and about 1500km, so only if you are 80kg and above is it okay, otherwise you'll find it hard. I will get the original again because it bangs a bit on small potholes etc. and it annoys me, on good asphalt it's awesome, but where can you find that..
