Avid Elixir 1 Disc Brake 160mm -

Features

• The Power to Stop Starts Here. Top-notch braking shouldn't break the bank. The piston design and geometry of the Elixir line brings the power to this impressive entry-level brake. Complete with the uniquely smooth control of TaperBore technology integrated within the sleek ambidextrous lever body, tooled reach-adjust and two-piece top-loading calliper, Elixir 1 is the best performing hydraulic disc brake in its class.
• Weight: 415g (160mm Rotor; front post mount). Lever Material: Black Aluminium Lever. Calliper Design: 2 Piston, Forged 2-piece Aluminium. Finish: Black. Rotor: 160mm G2 Cleansweep rotors. Pad: Organic, Top Loading. Fluid: DOT 4. Mount: Ambidextrous. Adjustment: Reach Adjust. Special Features: TaperBore Technology.
• Deep Stroke ModulationTM There's a fine line between braking hard and braking so hard that you lose traction. Deep Stroke Modulation allows riders to perfectly navigate that line and control even the most powerful brakes with finesse. Integrated Reservoir With TaperBore TechnologyTM Avid have integrated the reservoir and master cylinder on their hydraulic disc-brake levers to create a super-sleek (and even lighter) lever design.
• At the end of the day, a brake lever simply multiples the force your hand generates (just like the nut cracker). Avid's Power Reserve GeometryTM represents a way of thinking about the physics of leverage and your hand's comfort. Avid designed their levers with the pivot closer to the handlebar, in fact, closer than anyone else in the industry. The resulting lever movement has less inward travel, an arc that's closer to your fingers' natural motion and delivers more force to the brake.
• The term "TaperBore" refers to a unique patent-pending closure system in Avid's Elixir and Code levers. It saves weight, improves lever feedback and most importantly-gives you more power and control. When the only thing between you and the trail is bike maintenance, every second matters. With Avid's top-loading pads, new disc-brake pads can be installed without taking off the wheel, working under the calliper or doing any upside-down pad juggling, so you'll be ready to ride much quicker.
