JacBrand Posted December 15, 2018 Share Personally I prefer Shimano SLX.My previous bike had the SLX brakes and they were great. My new bike has Avid Elixer R, and compared to the Shimanos they perform poorly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

porqui Posted December 16, 2018 Share Read the post guys ! Shimano is not serviceable If your Avids are performing poorly it's not set up properly simple.Avids have a far better feel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skylark Posted December 16, 2018 Share Formula > Avid But.. Buy Shimano brakesSell both sets and get a shimano setPersonally I prefer Shimano SLX.My previous bike had the SLX brakes and they were great. My new bike has Avid Elixer R, and compared to the Shimanos they perform poorly.The current and previous gen shimano Deore brakes look 95% like Slx/Xt and perform just as well, without the price tag, win win win.

Hairy Posted December 16, 2018 Share I have owned both the RX's and the CR's ... I prefer the CR's over the RX's. Better modulation, and the lever feel is better for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
droo Posted December 18, 2018 Share RX. Just learn to bleed them properly, they'll need it at least every pad change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
