2011 Avid Code Brakes

20 April 2010  |  

Hailing from the bike parks of the world and developed on the edge of Pikes Peak in Colorado Springs comes the beautiful and sleek New CODE brake from AVID.

Code has seen the hard long days in the park and has developed into one of the must have products in this seemingly never stopping roller coaster called the bike park. With the new updates you can expect this to be the new benchmark in Freeride and DH.

Avid Code

For 2011 we have taken the current code and updated it with TaperBore Technology and put it on a diet. You can expect the same performance and reliability from CODE, but packaged at 410grams, it's the same weight as the original AVID Juicy!

This full-featured brake is more powerful, more controllable and lighter! We can see these benefits come to life through two new features of the brake. The first being, the addition of TaperBore and the second being the all new forged, dual diameter, four piston caliper.

TaperBore is a unique patented hydraulic closure system that allows for lighter lever travel through the stroke of the lever while moving more fluid than a traditional timing port. With the additional benefit of allowing the rider greater control of a more powerful brake system.

In the CODE family we have always offered a little brother to complement the full-featured brake that has set the benchmark in Free ride and DH. This year is no different; Code R has been updated to compliment his older brother.

Avid Code

This brake has been optimized for a great price to performance ratio with out compromise to control and feel. We started with the new forged dual diameter, 4 piston caliper and matched it with some existing lever technology to create a very affordable park ready brake.
