Less than £60 as standard, or add Avid HS1 rotors (nearly £30 each at CRC!) for a about 8 quid.

    Is there much difference between these and SLX? Ive been scouring the net for months waiting for somewhere to do a deal on some SLX brakes, but nowhere seems to.
    My Avid Elixir 3's are naff.

    They don't have Servo Wave - but are still excellent, the best super budget brake around.

    Good prices on Elixirs and M445 from the same seller as well....

    These are decent brakes for that price - not ideal if you like to one finger brake on steeper trails though. I have used these before and was suitably impressed given the budget nature of them.

    I'd say the pair i used had about 2/3rds the outright power of my Elixirs in the dry.
