From the official SRAM/Avid Press Release:
"Elixir R – The perfect mix of power and control"
AVID’s new Taperbore Technology provides supreme control combined with increased stopping power
Less initial power and deep stroke modulation allow the rider to better manage and use the increased overall power. The power gain comes from Elixir’s larger caliper pistons making the power sit halfway between Juicy and Code. Elixir benefits include reduced weight and clearance through reservoir design and optimized caliper.
