Let's say you're building the perfect cross country, weight-weeny special, and you're looking for the perfect brake. Now, let's say you're building the quintessential all-mountain, all-day-ride machine, and you're looking for the perfect brake. And how about that freeride freakshow, or the single speed? What brake fits them all like a glove? The answer for all of them is the
new Juicy Carbon. It's the right choice because it has such a powerful blend of all the most important attributes. The carbon fiber makes it strong and light. The fact that it's a Juicy makes it powerful, comfortable and a snap to install. Plus this year's refined design makes it drop-dead sexy and a huge 30 grams lighter than last year's model!

Pros
I run this brake with a 7inch rotor on the front. Very strong and highly customizable. Reach can be adjusted as well as pad engagement.
Review
Great brake and can be found on ebay for super cheap now that the Elixirs are out.

Review
This is my first expierence with Hydraulic brakes and I could'nt of picked a better set than these. I had a buddy install them and I have no rub or squeak after 80 miles. I purchased the 6" set F/R with G2's on Ebay for less than most shops sell one front or rear alone. These brakes work smoothly with plenty of stopping power.

Pros
As good as the Juicy 7 almost as good as ultimate. Good modulation
Cons
A bit short on power...Need a bit of work to get them perfect without noise
Review
A great brake for most riding styles not recommended for Freeride or DH..Nice bling factor
Pros
Lighter than std Juicy 7.
Cons
Change out the rotors for larger G2 Clean Sweeps if the squeals persist
Review
Avid juicys really are the best in my experience thus far. The Carb model has little difference from the 7 apart from the lever. If you're a bigger rider running long steep descents and are disconcerted by the squealing from the brakes, upgrade to larger rotors with adapters..solved my problem...G2 Clean Sweeps..take a little power out of the brake but all is cool and quiet
