When you're tackling rough trails, nothing affects your confidence and control more than your brakes.

And a new bladder material reduces air bubbles, ensuring power and consistency on every ride.
Bend Zone™
We know that crashes happen, and that's why we created Bend Zone. During a powerful hit-one that would break a normal lever-Bend Zone allows the lever to flex, saving the lever body from massive carnage. Not only will you be able to ride out of the woods without resorting to Flintstone-style braking, you won't even have to get a new lever body.
Matchmaker Compatible
Save weight and clutter on the bar with MatchMaker. This system holds Avid® levers, a number of SRAM® triggers and RockShox PushLoc controls - all with one tidy, light clamp.
Power Reserve Geometry
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 Geometry™represents a way of thinking about the physics of leverage and your hand's 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 that's 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 importantly-gives you more power and control.
