Avid XX World Cup Disc Brake System
Product DescriptionThe Sram XX World Cup Disc brake marks the lightest edition to the XX brake family. An updated TaperBore design incorporates a new air-trap feature, which prevents potentially trapped air from entering the system, resulting in ridiculously smooth control you can count on.

Daniel Date Reviewed: May 19, 2012 Strengths: Looks and weight, that's it. Weaknesses: Constantly have to bleed them. Lever keeps "sicking" and have tried everything. I figured if I bought the most expensive brakes from the Avid line, they would be perfect. I have rode them 4 times, but they have been bled 3 times already and still don't work correctly. rotors drag, even brand new ones, so I guess it's time to get a piston kit..WOW. Bottom Line:

from Atlanta Date Reviewed: October 22, 2011 Strengths: Lightweight, slick looking, nice feel\touch when feathering, good power with a 140MM rotor Weaknesses: The factory pads shipped with this brake only lasted 1 6-hr race and a couple of training rides before the race before they were gone. After one minor laydown of the bike at low sliding spped where there was not a scratch on the bike, the brakes just stopped working for about the next 4 miles of riding. I had to keep pumping the lever and finally they started working again. Recently, the lever is now sticking after being pulled in, it springs back out but only after a delay due to the sticking. Price.

from Grand Junction, CO Date Reviewed: October 19, 2011 Strengths: Very, very light. Good fit and finish. Nice looking. Weaknesses: Will not hold a bleed. At all. These brakes work good when they are working. Which is about one to two rides before another bleed will be needed.

from Cadllac,Mi Date Reviewed: January 17, 2011 Strengths: None. These just plain suck. Weaknesses: Everything. These came stock on a new Specialized S-Works 29er HT. I rode them for one month and noticed some sticking in the lever so back they went to the LBS.This was right before winter struck and my LBS said bring them in and we will get them set up correctly.They've been there evr since. No problem SRAM send new brakes. LBS sets them up and the new ones are worse than the old ones. SRAM then sends new brake lines saying this was the problem with XX brakes all along. BS!!I go to LBS to find the left lever is still sticking and needs a new piston.ON BRAND NEW BRAKES THAT HAVE NEVER BEEN RIDDEN. I asked the LBS to tell SRAM I wanted credit to buy some Formula R1s.And now this is hilarious.After all this the idiot at SRAM has the lack of brains to say,"why would he not want the best brakes on the market"!!What a dildo. How about this,I want brakes that work and are reliable. Is that asking so much? Never buy these brakes.They have to be the worst high end brakes on the market. Do yourself a favor and go buy some Formula R1s and enjoy your riding. I have never in 20 years of mtn biking this crappy of a product and this inept service. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: North Country Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Price Paid: $250.00 Purchased At: McLains Cycle Similar Products Used: vid BB&s that worked great Formula R1s that are the pinnacle of lightweight high end hydros.
