I had Hylex and thought they were really good & reliable. Hard to beat. What about the various cheap RS685 / Dura-ace mechanical & Di2 on CRC at the moment and gut the shifter parts out (or turn the left into a dropper lever).

Good call! I have R785 levers on my road bike, but didn’t even think of them. Just had a scoot around and I can get the callipers and two levers for pretty much the same as the TRP ones.
@timmah! Thanks. Think I’ll go for the Shimano ones and gut them. Something comforting about having the same brand brake set up on two bikes for replacement pads and the like.
@Dexter Thanks!

Also, turns out all those super cheap R785 levers are all euro setup i.e. right hand, rear brake.
But I found a set on eBay for a good price so I’m still good to go.

I want to put drops on my fixie-skidder-tracklopacker-thing.
What are the go-to single speed, hydraulic drop bar levers? I’ve come across the TRP Hylex RS ones that look good and seem to get decent reviews online, but wanted to check if anyone had a better suggestion.
I’ll need to purchase two levers so don’t want to spend too much north of £200 including callipers in total.
