Deep Stroke Modulation Theres a fine line between braking hard and 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, allowing flawless fade-free performance in 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. Power Reserve Geometry 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. Reach Adjust Adjusting the levers to perfectly match your unique hands is seriously important"thats why we put Reach Adjust on all of our levers. 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 gives you more power and control. Top-loading Pads When the only thing between you and the trail is bike maintenance, every second matters. With top-loading pads, new disc-brake pads can be installed without taking off the wheel, working under the caliper or doing any upside-down pad juggling.
