Trickstuff Maxima Disc Brake Set
Overview
For ultimate braking power with ultimate control, look to the Maxima Disc Brake Set. Hydraulic transmission of a 9mm pump piston to four 16/17mm calliper pistons generates enough force to let you wait until the last possible second on steep, rough tracks before applying the brakes.

For ultimate braking power with ultimate control, look to the Maxima Disc Brake Set. Hydraulic transmission of a 9mm pump piston to four 16/17mm calliper pistons generates enough force to let you wait until the last possible second on steep, rough tracks before applying the brakes.
There's no fear of bucking action and arm pump here. Instead, expect a consistently predictable bite point and smooth, modulated action, since the immense power is countered by the high mechanical transmission ratio of its levers, high calliper stiffness and the inclusion of rigid hoses.
Capable and forceful, the Maxima Brake Set nonetheless exhibits an unexpected docility in action that will leave you feeling confident and in charge of your own performance.
Technology
Ball bearing brake levers
Trickstuff's lightweight levers use four bearings, two in the main pivot and two for the connecting rod, to achieve as little friction as possible during lever pull. The ball bearings prevent radial lever play, while a tiny POM plastic ball, clamped in the barrel nut, prevents axial play. The result of minimised shift is increased braking precision and a predictive development of force.
Hollow stainless steel pistons
Light and hollow, the stainless steel pistons in Trickstuff's brake calliper substantially contribute to heat management within the brake set, due to the low thermal conductivity of both the steel and the air cushion within each piston. Their cylindrical design also minimises the contact area between the pistons and the brake pads, in turn minimising heat buildup.
Stiffness & construction of brake callipers
A stiff brake calliper facilitates crisp and decisive braking, with a clear bite point, and Trickstuff's own two-piece callipers are finely tuned to match their intended use.
The bite point consistency also depends on the rollback behaviour of the calliper pistons. Trickstuff's pistons are made with tight manufacturing tolerances, so they return evenly, and they're designed for short piston rollback. They're therefore less likely to be overworked and lock during fast braking, ensuring braking action is modulated and will feel the same each time you pull the lever.
Knee lever effect and progressive power transmission
A knee lever is a joint that connects two levers, with the effect of delivering a transmission ratio dependent on travel, rather than linear transmission. This means that pulling the lever harder results in an increased transmission ratio and a progressively rising braking force. A rider can therefore choose whether to slow down gently or rapidly, depending on the situation.
Less input force is required overall to operate a lever with a knee joint, due to its kinematics, which means less energy is needed when tackling a long descent or braking frequently and forcefully. There will therefore be less chance of cramping or arm fatigue.
Pressure-resistant POM Pump Pistons
POM plastic is pressure-stable, with excellent wear resistant and sliding properties that won't change over time, making it the perfect material for Trickstuff's pump pistons. These move easily through the anodised piston track, facilitating the smooth motion of the whole mechanism.
