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.
