Because really really really good wasn’t good enough
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.
