The Elixir 3 is the perfect blend of power, performance and value. With the same excellent performance as its big brother the Elixir CR, the Elixir 3 is a less expensive version with a little added weight. The Elixir 3 features TaperBore technology found in the more expensive brakes offered by Avid. TaperBore refers to the patent pending closure system that shaves weight, looks sleek, and improves lever feedback, and provides ultimate power and control. Enjoy the top- loading pad feature. Replace pads without even dropping your wheel! New disc- brake pads can be installed without taking the wheel off. The Tri- Align caliper positioning system makes it easy to align your caliper to the rotor. With all these features, and excellent braking power, this is one obvious upgrade to your rig!

  • Weight: 395grams
  • Lever Material: Black aluminum lever, aluminum body
  • Caliper Design: 2 piston, forged 2 piece aluminum
  • Rotor: HS1 6 bolt
  • Fluid: DOT 5.1
  • Mount: Ambidextrous
  • Adjustment: Reach adjustment, Tri- Align caliper positioning

Squeals like a Pig

Pros

  • They stop your bike

Cons

  • No pad clearance adjust
  • They rub

Best Uses

  • Disturbing the Peace
  • Spooking Mountain Lions

These brakes came standard on my new bike. After a month of screwing around with these, I am done with them. I have tried every possible fix, but the squeals, and tick-tick-tick noises keep coming back no matter how well adjusted. Of course, I have no tolerance for brake rub at even the most minute level. After having dug around the forums I have learned that this is a common and "accepted" condition of these brakes. I am switching to BB7 mechanical brakes (GASP!) so that I can tweak and adjust to my hearts content. I think hydro's are just too much fuss for me. Some hydro's do have pad clearance adjust for a lot more money.

Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
