Like the name says - designed to be the ultimate hydraulic disc brake. Light, high-performance, and with cool features like a carbon leverblade, there isn't much else you could ask for. The caliper bodies area forged, one-piece monoblok design and use Avid's Tri-Align caliperpositioning system for simple setup. Where's the knob? Thisbrake does away with the large contact point adjustment knob you'veseen on other Juicy brakes ( a weight-saving concession). Instead, yousimply use a 2.5mm hex key (which also adjusts rebound on some Rockshoxforks). Handy and saves weight and space in your tool kit.
Magnesium lever bodies with carbon blade, ambidextrous design, compatible with the SRAM Matchmaker add-on clamp (not required or included, but a nice add-on)

The ferrari of disc brakes...Only ultimates look a little fasterThe shining symbol of how far disc brakes have come. The Juicy Ultimate is the epitome of sleek, exotic and feather-light design. Its magnesium lever body and 6k weave carbon fiber lever blade reduce steering weight, and just plain feel fast. The Monoblok caliper makes the system stiff, responsive and clean. And because the Ultimate incorporates all of Avid's proprietary technologies like Power Reserve Geometry and Pad Contact-Point Adjustment, you can be sure that your brake will never limit your performance. That's why it's a favorite of the cross country pros around the world...a hands-down essential for the discriminating XC brake-o-philes.
