AVID Elixir 3 was built for value and gives nothing away in performance and adjustability. The newest brake in the Elixir family offers up a sleek ambidextrous lever body and stout two-piece caliper. Featuring a TaperBore master cylinder and AVID's optimised pivot placement, the Elixir 3 brings a new level of performance and control to this entry level price point.

Wish I waited a bit longer instead of getting Juicy 3's. They are about the same price :(
