Calipers are the same

Race levers are smaller with reach adjust by Allen key

Tech3 are chunkier with tool free reach & bite point adjust.

I liked my race Evo levers but happier with the tech3s I recently swapped too, feel a bit more solid & easier to get feel just right

As above, have the Tech 3 E4 and Race E4, so same levers and different calipers. Race is lighter but prefer the ergonomics of the Tech 3 lever. Wouldn't bother with the Race unless you're really counting the grams. Think there's about 20g per brake in it or something silly, really not that much.

Just swapped to the race from the tech 3.

Bit more pared back and lighter.

Had both, and prefer the ergonomics and adjustment on the Tech 3 levers.
The Race Evo levers just felt a bit more flimsy.

I'm sure I read somewhere that due to the design the Evo levers give slightly more power due to different leverage?
