Avid Elixir 3 Disc Brake Set

Avid Elixir 3 Disc Brake Set

Now upgraded with the same HS-1 rotor as Avid Elixir 9 brakes, the Avid Elixir 3 hydraulic disc brake comes even closer to the performance of Avid's (and thus perhaps the world's) best brakes.

The Elixir's TaperBore master cylinder delivers a more linear lever action. A light touch on the lever scrubs speed. When you need more power, simply pull the lever further.

• TaperBore master cylinder with integrated reservoir delivers a more linear lever action and enables the creation of a lever that is super sleek.
• The tapered bore also helps eliminate wear and tear on the seals and should guarantee longer service life.
• Lever reach adjustment.
• Two-piece calliper with upsized pistons (over Juicy) delivers more clamping force.
• Top-loading pads for easier replacement and faster heat dissipation.
• Ambidextrous mount aluminium lever.
• MatchMaker compatible.
• Dot 5.1 fluid takes almost 3 times longer to boil than DOT 4, thus allowing flawless fade-free performance in extreme conditions.
• Weight: 446g including hardware, alloy lever, calliper, cable and 160mm rotor (based upon weighing one example of this product at Edinburgh Bicycle Co-ops head office in October 2011).

'POWER, PERFORMANCE AND VALUE: CHOOSE ALL THREE.
With features that matter, the Elixir 3 offers ambidextrous levers complete with our standout TaperBore Technology and convenient tooled reach adjust. Being able to choose from two different colours and use the adjustable rear banjo to route your housing like the pros, well, that’s just cool. Not all pockets are deep, which is why we don’t consider things like comfort, control and reliability “features” – to us, these are rights of every Avid owner.

HS-1 Rotor
Utilizing cross-drilled technology, the lightweight HS series stays cooler when your run heats up, offers enhanced wet-weather performance and takes braking to a whole new level of smooth.

Tri-Align Caliper Positioning System
Another original Avid technology making your life better—there’s never been an easier brake to install and adjust. With Avid’s Tri-Align Caliper Positioning System, aligning the calliper to the rotor literally takes seconds. Just loosen the CPS bolts a little, and then squeeze the brake lever while re-tightening the bolts. Perfect calliper alignment—just like that.'
