Review by SRAM

The CR is the Elixir you run if only the very best will do. TaperBoreTM Technology, beautiful black finish, toolfree reach adjustment, and a foxy new Pad Contact-Point Adjustment design all make it a marvel of brake design.

Power
Elixir has awesome stopping power because of its new, super-stiff, two-piece caliper, featuring larger grooved pistons than our Juicy brakes. The larger pistons produce overall power that sits halfway between Juicy and Code.
