It's not called Ultimate because it's just ok.
A few grams here, a few grams there...not a huge change in itself. But when you shave off almost 50 grams and you maintain the best performance and the most advanced features on the market now you're talking about a big difference. A difference that helps you ride faster and with more control. It's a hands down essential for the discriminating XC brake-o-phile.
Where's the knob?
When you make a brake as light as the Juicy Ultimate, the last thing you want to do is bulk it up with a knob that weighs a gram or two. That's why Juicy Ultimate's Contact-Point Adjustment is tucked away inside this stealthy opening. All you need is a 2.5mm hex wrench...or you're RockShox rebound adjuster. Clever, huh?
Bicycle disc brakes consist of a metal disc attached to the wheel hub that rotates with the wheel. Brake calipers are attached to the frame or fork along with pads that squeeze together on the disc. The way it is attached to the bike will be either by IS (International Standard) which has two holes facing the disc or Post Mount, which has threads going into the fork. Disc brakes have been successfully used on motorbikes for decades, and are the principal choice there. The primary benefit of disc brakes is that they perform equally well in all conditions including water, mud and snow. This is due to their position closer to the hub and away from the ground and possible contaminants like water, which can coat and freeze on the rim in colder temperatures. The pads are usually made from metal sinters or an organic compound instead of rubber. Water acts as a lubricant to rubber but not metal, therefore disc brakes maintain their stopping power in wet conditions. They also avoid the problem that rim brakes have of wearing out the wheel rims, especially in muddy conditions, as well as the requirement that the rim be straight. Disc brakes offer improved modulation of braking power and generally require less finger effort to achieve the same braking power. The advantages of discs make them well-suited to steep, extended downhills through wet and muddy off-road terrain, common in freeride bicycle riding.

The Ace in the Avid pack, the Ultimate goes all-out to drop weight without losing Juicy's proven tangy performance...the brake's Power-Reserve-Geometry' feedback is still gorgeously rich. They'll still have you on your nose end with one finger on the 160mm rotors, and even the tiny standard issue 140mm rear will shame many 160s. Even with all that titanium hardware, it's not quite the lightest brake here though, and it's certainly not the cheapest either, although overall performance is outstanding.
Very expensive but super-powerful, lightweight XC bling brake
