These arent just light. Theyre shockingly light. Because nothing tastes as good as winning feels.

Deep Stroke Modulation:Theres 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.

DOT 5.1:Heat is an enemy of any brake system, so advancements in heat management, mean advancements in your ride. You see, we found that in our systems DOT 5.1 takes almost 3 times longer to boil than DOT 4, thus allowing flawless fade-free performance in even more extreme conditions.

Intergrated Reservoir:With TaperBore Technology weve integrated the reservoir and master cylinder on our hydraulic disc-brake levers to create a super-sleek (and even lighter) lever design.

MatchMaker and MMX Compatible: Save weight and clutter on the bar with Matchmaker. It holds Avid levers, SRAM triggers, and various RockShox controls, all with one tidy, light, clamp--a dream come true for handlebar component footprint conservationists the world over. Available in two versions: Matchmaker X integrates the RockShoxXLoc and is compatible with XX and X0 brakes. Standard Matchmakeris also available and works with any split-clamp design and RockShox PushLoc.

Power Reserve Geometry: At the end of the day, a brake lever simply multiples the force your hand generates (just like the nut cracker). Avids Power Reserve Geometryrepresents a way of thinking about the physics of leverage and your hands comfort. This philosophy is fundamentally different than others in the business of brakes. Due to pivot placement, physics dictates that with other brake levers your fingers tend to slip off the ends as you pull. Avid is different. We designed our 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 thats closer to your fingers natural motion and delivers more force to the brake. The cool part is, every Avid lever has it.

TaperBore Technology: The term TaperBore refers to a unique patent-pending closure system in our Elixir and Code levers. It saves weight, looks super-sleek, improves lever feedback and most importantlygives you more power and control.

Tool-Free Reach Adjust: All the adjustability of our Reach Adjust without having to dig into your tools. Bring your levers in or dial them outa few turns are all it takes with Tool-Free Reach Adjust.
