Elixir 5 from 2013 / Via Gt A2 Brake Lever Servicekit

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.
