Sram has a new brake called the Elixir CR. They designed it to provide more power, control, and comfort. Gone is the Avid Juicy Carbon and in its place is what seems to be a much improved brake that has some very nice features and changes to improve upon the Juicy design.

They showed off the Elixir R model previously at Sea Otter, but this new version includes a tool free pad contact adjustment in addition to the reach adjustment. Check out the pdf for more information.
