That is what I also suspect, what was making me think is that I thought V-brake levers were not supposed to work with caliper brakes (which is then the current set-up on my gf bike and which is working totally fine). Nevermind, thanks for pointing towards the FL740!

The difference is how much cable they pull. I might be wrong but I think mtb levers pulling road brakes is more likely to work than the other way round since you just reach the bite point of the brakes faster. Using road levers with standard v-brakes theres a risk that the lever wont be able to pull enough cable.

Looks like they're the MTB version for regular v-brakes. The road version for cantis/calipers/mini-v is the FL740: https://www.tektro.com/products.php?p=73 Both pages on the tektro site link to the same instruction manual but that's probably a mistake on the CL740 page. The instruction manual references the FL740 and the pictures show the quick release thing on the lever.
