Review by SRAM Test Rider: Greg “HB” Herbold

Pure, simple performance is what you can expect with the Elixir R. It has TaperBore Technology, tool-free reach adjustment, Power Reserve geometry,TM Tri-Align TM Caliper Positioning System,TM and drip-free bleeding just like the CR.

“I can use this brake on all my bikes, whether I go trail hunting or full-out freeriding. The braking power is just perfect and strong, yet it provides intuitive control.”
