Avid Standard Hardware Kit (Titanium)

The main advantage is weight reduction. By replacing standard steel components and eliminating the need for bulky concentric caliper-centering washers, you shed unnecessary mass from your braking system without sacrificing structural integrity.

No, this kit is specifically designed for standard direct-mount brake systems. It is not compatible with systems that require traditional CPS (Caliper Positioning System) washers.

Yes, it changes the process slightly. Because you are removing the self-aligning washers, you will need to manually center the caliper over the rotor during installation, which requires a bit more precision than the standard setup.

Titanium is strong, but it is softer than steel and can be prone to seizing if not installed correctly. We highly recommend using a high-quality anti-seize compound on the threads during installation to prevent galling and ensure the bolts can be removed easily in the future.

You will need a standard hex key or Torx wrench, depending on the specific bolt head, and a torque wrench is strongly recommended. Always follow the manufacturer's torque specifications to avoid damaging the titanium bolts.
