'Very powerful and very trick'

Strengths:
Superb modulation and power. Very useful reach adjustment for setting individual bite point. Carbon parts to reduce weight and split clamp design. very easy to set up as well.

Weaknesses:
Non as yet. I've had the normal juicy 7's for a while now with no problems at all so why should these be any different.

Overall:
Another blinding product from Avid. Some nice design touches in the split clamp feature (not on normal 7's) very well made and so easy to set-up. Carbon levers are lovely and smooth with no flex at all when pulled hard. Immensely powerful but with superb feel and the bite point adjustment is very useful to individualise your set-up. I prefer the bite point immediately not near the bar so having this feature is worth the cost over the 5's. All the Carbon and Ti bits are nice to have and ar only slightly more expensive. But they are worth it. Think of the bling factor!
