Avid builds on Juicy technology with new Elixir line

The Juicy line of hydraulic brakes has undoubtedly been a resounding success but Avid brake designers still sought to make some improvements, namely in terms of power modulation.

The new Elixir trades Juicy's straight-walled master cylinder bore and timing port internal architecture (the basic design shared by most hydraulic brakes currently on the market) for a novel new Taperbore setup.

When combined with the slightly revised pivot location, Elixir supposedly provides a less grabby initial bite combined with better deep stroke modulation. The arrangement also makes for a more cleanly integrated fluid reservoir.
