Avid Code Hydraulic Brakeset

Part Hummer, Part Forumula One

When you put your life in the hands of your brakes, it makes sense to pick the most powerful brakes you can get. And who says that a brake designed for the most demanding conditions in the world can’t also be precise and respond to the finest touch? It’s time to bust out the Code.

Code levers are built to take almost anything, with our special two-piece blade featuring cam breakaway, ultra-stout body and fully ambidextrous design. On the other end, Code’s caliper is cold-forged with four pistons, extra-large pads, and beefy, adjustable, center-mount stainless banjo, meaning that gravity has met its match.

But the best part about Code is that they aren’t just strong, they are full of finesse. Thanks to Avid’s classic details, including sealed bearings in the lever pivot, Pad Contact-Point Adjustment and patented Tri-AlignTM Caliper Positioning System,TM you’ll feel an amazing amount of precise control at your fingertips.

Ahhh-justment
No matter which side is facing up, you’ll never have to relocate the Pad Contact- Point Adjustment knob, because of Code’s handy, center-mounted design.
