Pad Contact Point
Problem:
When it comes to the way the pads contact the disc, with other hydraulics what you squeeze is what you get—sometimes leaving you with a left lever that engages farther from your handlebar than your right.
Solution:
Our Hydraulic disc lets you choose exactly where in the lever throw the pads make contact, allowing you to get the feel you prefer with no left/right imbalance.
Lever Pull Ergonomics
Problem:
Other hydraulic levers have pivots placed farther out from the handlebar resulting in either a rising rate of resistance or decrease in leverage as the lever is squeezed.
Solution:
We’ve positioned our hydraulic lever’s pivot far closer to the handlebar, which creates the only truly ergonomic hydraulic lever path in the industry. It feels better and provides greater power, all with less effort too.
Lever Ambidexterity
Problem:
Most brands’ hydraulic levers are dedicated to strictly left or right hand use. This can be a problem if you prefer to run your front brake with your right hand like motorcyclists do. To swap left for right would mean the messy task of swapping lines and require re-bleeding.
Solution:
That’s why our Hydraulic levers are ambidextrous. They can be swapped in just minutes without disconnecting lines.
Caliper Alignment
Problem:
Traditionally, both hydraulic and mechanical disc calipers are difficult to align and often require the use of finicky shims.
Solution:
Our patented Tri-Align caliper positioning system™ allows for easy, drag-free alignment anywhere and any time you have a 5-mm Allen wrench handy.
Mounting
Problem:
Other hydraulics and mechanical brakes require different mounts for different brands of forks.
Solution:
Our discs’ mounting bracket design allows them to work with either IS (with bracket) or 74-mm post style mounts (without bracket).
Rotor Selection
Problem:
Most hydraulic and mechanical disc brakes offer only one size of rotor regardless of your riding preferences.
Solution:
We feel that one size definitely does not fit all. Rider weight, riding style and terrain type all need to be considered. That’s why we offer a choice of three rotor sizes (, 160 mm, 185 mm, and 203 mm).
Rotor/Pad Cleaning
Problem:
Some hydraulic and mechanical brakes’ rotors don’t scrape the entire pad surface clean, which can lead to all sorts of performance-degrading problems.
Solution:
Our exclusive Clean Sweep™ rotor design does just that, thoroughly scraping the entire pad for superior performance and extended pad life.
Pad Replacement
Problem:
Brake pad designs can vary between the same brand’s hydraulic and mechanical models.
Solution:
Avid disc brake pads work on either our Ball Bearing or Hydraulic models. And why anyone would do any different is beyond us.
