I wonder if there is a way to adjust the position of the rear brake pedal on 2016 Audace or there is third party manufacturer which offers one, shorter and with different profile. My problem is that I cannot use effectively rear brake because it is located too far from a peg and is too low so I'm unable to press it down enough to significantly affect the speed of the bike. In order to get some 'action' from the rear brake I have move forward on the saddle, move my right foot forward so peg is under my heel then I can apply a bit of braking but I'm still unable to press pedal low enough to use the brake effectively.

Any suggestions greatly appreciated. Thanks!

The brake pedal position itself cannot be adjusted. It actuates a small threaded rod with pushes into the hydraulic brake cable assembly underneath the righthand side. There is a nut on the thread which locks the threaded bolt on position, it can be loosened to allow to adjust the brake's play and minimize any slack, but be careful to not go too tight and have brakes on at all times. Also make sure to use lock the threaded bolt in position again with that nut.
 
Thank you Helmerson for the info. I already took the bike to the dealer and they adjusted it a bit but I'm not sure what :( It is not ideal but a bit better, dealer told me this is all they can adjust.
 
Like yourself I am not very happy with the brake pedal position. Unfortunately there is nothing else one can do. The brake lever is very special, with a press-fit bearing, which would make it quite difficult for 3rd parties to make an alternative lever.
 
IMG 7087 Hi Janusz,

Just came across some pics of the new MGX21 Flying Castle (an Audace spin-off). It looks like they have a differently shaped brake pedal which is shorter and the rubber pad seems higher. Perhaps something for you?
