Description
Keeping your Avid Elixir 5 or Via GT A2 hydraulic brake lever in top condition is straightforward when you have the correct service kit to hand. This genuine Avid replacement kit supplies the internal components needed to restore consistent lever feel and braking confidence — whether you ride Western Ghats descents, monsoon-soaked trails in Coorg, or technical singletrack near Pune.
Use Cases
Daily training. Reliable use across Indian training conditions — heat, humidity, and rough tarmac.
Race day. Performance-grade construction for competitive efforts.
Long rides. Built for full-day rides across Western Ghats, Sahyadri, or Nilgiri climbs.
Our Take
India's riding conditions are particularly demanding on hydraulic brake internals. Heat above 35°C, monsoon humidity, and dusty trails around Lonavala or Hyderabad accelerate wear on seals and small lever components. Having this service kit means you can rebuild your Elixir 5 or Via GT A2 lever at home rather than hunting for individual parts. It is a practical, cost-effective way to extend the life of a quality brake system without replacing the entire lever assembly.
Sizing for Indian Riders
This is a service kit for a specific lever model, not a new lever — so sizing is not applicable in the traditional sense. Confirm your brake lever model before ordering: the kit is designed for the Avid Elixir 5 (from 2013 onward) and the Via GT A2. Mixing service parts between incompatible lever generations can affect seal integrity and brake performance.
Compatibility Notes
Compatible with the Avid Elixir 5 (2013 model year onward) and Via GT A2 brake levers only. These levers use DOT 5.1 hydraulic fluid — do not substitute mineral oil, as it will damage internal seals. After servicing, bleed the system fully using a proper Avid-compatible bleed kit before riding.
Pairs Well With
Complete your brake service with a hydraulic bleed kit, DOT 5.1 brake fluid, compatible Avid brake pads matched to your rotor type, and a torque wrench for lever clamp bolts. Stocking a spare bleed syringe set is worthwhile for riders in high-humidity coastal cities like Chennai or Kolkata.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Avid Elixir 5 / Via GT A2 Brake Lever Service Kit best used for?
This kit is designed for restoring worn or leaking Avid Elixir 5 (2013+) and Via GT A2 hydraulic brake levers. It is ideal for riders who want to extend the life of their existing brake system rather than replace the full lever — practical for trail and mountain riders across India who put heavy demands on their brakes year-round.
How do I confirm this service kit fits my brake lever?
Check the model name and year on your brake lever body or original documentation. This kit fits the Avid Elixir 5 from 2013 onward and the Via GT A2 lever specifically. It is not compatible with earlier Elixir 5 versions or other Elixir variants such as the Elixir 3, 7, or CR. When in doubt, contact Cobbled Climbs before ordering.
Will this service kit hold up after monsoon riding and India's heat?
Yes — servicing your lever with genuine Avid parts is exactly how you prepare for India's conditions. Monsoon humidity and temperatures above 35°C in cities like Pune, Hyderabad, or Chennai degrade seals faster than dry climates. Replacing worn internals with correct service parts restores full lever feel and prevents spongy braking during critical descents.
How does a brake lever service kit compare to buying a replacement lever?
A service kit is significantly more affordable — at Rs. 1,310, it costs a fraction of a full replacement lever assembly. If your lever body is undamaged and only internal seals or small components have worn, a service kit is the smarter choice. Replacement levers make more sense only when the lever body itself is cracked or structurally compromised.
Is this service kit worth the price in India, and does it include a warranty?
At Rs. 1,310, this genuine Avid service kit offers strong value compared to sourcing individual parts or replacing the entire lever. Avid's warranty terms apply as per SRAM's standard policy — contact Cobbled Climbs for specifics. With free delivery on orders above Rs. 2,500 and COD available nationwide, it is a low-risk, high-value maintenance purchase.
