Avid Elixir CR Hydraulic Bicycle Disc Brake

Avid Elixir CR Hydraulic Bicycle Disc Brake Review



Avid Elixir CR Hydraulic Bicycle Disc Brake Feature

  • Hydraulic bicycle disc brake made using variety of advanced technologies
  • TaperBore system improves lever feedback and gives you more power and control
  • Pad Contact-Point Adjustment helps improve finger comfort for better feedback
  • Caliper aligns quickly with rotor for easy installation; DOT 5.1 heat management system
  • Installs on right or left side; carbon fiber lever construction; weighs 0.82 pounds
Dial in everything about your ride with the sure-stopping Avid Elixir CR hydraulic bicycle disc brake. The Elixir CR is built with a simple philosophy: a good brake must work in perfect harmony with your hand, give you precise control, and be easier to install than a virus on your PC. Avid accomplishes these goals through a variety of sophisticated technologies. The patent-pending TaperBore system, for example, refers to a new closure system in the company's Elixir levers. The TaperBore saves weight, looks super sleek, improves lever feedback, and most importantly, gives you more power and control. The brake also offers Pad Contact-Point Adjustment, which allows you to adjust the point in the lever's throw where the pads contact the rotor. This helps you do two simple things: it lets you pick the most comfortable position for your fingers, so you can perfectly match your fingers to the brake's power; and it lets you balance both levers so they contact at the same point, which helps you dial in the perfect ride.

At the end of the day, a brake lever simply multiplies the force your hand generates, just like a nutcracker. Avid's Power Reserve Geometry, however, promotes a fundamentally different philosophy by designing its levers with the pivot closer to the handlebar. The resulting lever movement has less inward travel, an arc that's closer to your fingers' natural motion, and a grip that delivers more force to the brake. Avid also makes your life easier by making the Elixir CR easy to install. With Avid's Tri-Align Caliper Positioning System, it takes just a few short seconds to align the caliper to the rotor. Simply loosen the CPS bolts a little, then squeeze the brake lever while simultaneously re-tightening the bolts. The resulting caliper alignment is perfect, and you can probably do it with your eyes closed. Finally, the Elixir CR offers an advanced heat management system called DOT 5.1. The system takes almost three times longer to boil than DOT 4, allowing the brake to perform flawlessly in even more extreme conditions.

Specifications:

  • Finish: White or black onyx (body and caliper); carbon fiber (lever)
  • Intended use: All uses
  • TaberBore technology: Yes
  • Lever blade: Carbon fiber
  • Rotor: G3 Clean Sweep 160/185/203mm; G3 Center Lock rotors 160/185mm

  • Weight: 0.82 pounds

The Avid Elixir CR Disc Brake uses oversized pistons to give you stopping power comparable to dual-piston designs but without the tuning hassles. Tool-free adjustments help you dial in these Avid brakes quicklyeven during your ride. Of course, you also get carbon levers to keep things light, and fast-cooling G3 Clean Sweep rotors to eliminate brake heating.
