Where they're at already gets a slight rise to the lever. It's definitely a lower hose entry point than SRAM and a more downward angle. If you move the levers up so the hose exits right into the handlebar the levers would almost be at a 45 degree angle upward.

Here's how they look on the bike

Pulling the brake lever is incredibly hard like I'm pushing against a blockage. I tried to do a brake bleed and pushing fluid from the caliper is impossible. It won't flow. With the bleed port on the lever open I can now squeeze the lever just fine, but the hose itself has something blocking it. I'm taking a break but I think I'll need to run new hoses. Which is annoying with a fully integrated system. But I'm. It sure what else to do at this point.


Same problem occurs with sram levers when the olive isn't screwed on the barb correctly. The connection port in the lever has a valve that needs to be pushed open by the barb for the fluid to flow. Don't use force on the lever, this can damage the membrane.
I assume its a similar design with the Sensah and you need to check/redo the barb and olive.

I don't know. So I ended up removing the lever and tried pushing fluid up through from the caliper bleed style. Nothing, still couldn't get fluid to flow through even with an open end at the lever side. So I decided to just run new hoses. When I was removing the caliper side, I think it was tightened too tight at the factory. It was crazy hard to get the connection bolt removed and even harder to get the barb and olive out. Like the Hulk tightened it down. I think the caliper end was over tightened and crushed the olive causing a block. It's working now either way.

This is major flaw. Compare it with red e1, also on roval bar
