Avid Elixir Hydraulic Line Kit

This kit is specifically designed for Elixir 5, R, CR, X0, CR Mag (2012 and newer), and XX Trail models. It is not a universal fit for every Avid brake, so please verify your specific brake model before purchasing.

Yes, the 2000 mm length is designed to be cut to size. You will need a proper hose cutter to ensure a clean, square cut that prevents leaks and ensures a secure connection at the lever and caliper.

Yes, the kit comes with the essential hardware required to connect the hose to your brake system. However, you will still need to perform a full brake bleed after installation to remove any air from the system.

You should replace your hydraulic line if you notice fluid weeping at the connections, if the hose has been kinked or damaged during a crash, or if the braking feel has become spongy despite multiple bleeds. Over time, the internal lining can also degrade, which compromises consistent pressure.

Beyond standard wrenches for the brake fittings, you will need a dedicated hydraulic hose cutter to avoid crushing the line. You will also need a bleed kit specific to Avid hydraulic brakes to finalize the installation.
