Elixir 5

Brand: Avid

Entry-level MTB hydraulic brake from the Avid Elixir family. 2 pistons, DOT 5.1 fluid, post mount fitting. TaperBore technology shared across the range, reach adjustment by Allen screw (tool needed) and no contact point adjustment, a simplified version compared with the Elixir 7/9/CR. Measured weight 262 g, lever + hose + caliper. Dropped from the catalogue around 2014 in favour of the SRAM Guide range.
