Description:

Introducing Avid's Caliper Positioning System™(CPS) disc brakes - a must-have in wet, sloppy or extended downhill conditions.

(Now many of your technical cross country riders will ask that they not be forgotten.)

The Ball Bearing disc brakes are smooth, quiet and intensely powerful.

Built to deliver that on-demand control and confidence you've come to expect from Avid.

And one more thing: They're a cinch to install.

In the spirit of Avid design, the CPS disc brakes are designed to spend very little time installing and adjusting the brakes - so you can spend more time riding.

Throw in fully adjustable brake pads and spring tension and well, you know the rest. Disc Brake details

Finally a cable-actuated disc brake that works like disc brakes should.

Avid has obsessed over the design and it shows.

It has power and a light action at the lever.
