Trickstuff Piccola HD Titanium Disc Brake Set
Overview
The Piccola HD Titanium is a fine example of brake exotica. With light yet strong 3D printed titanium levers, four pistons and an impressive hydraulic ratio of 9mm at the pump piston to 14/17mm in the calliper, it's capable of commanding some serious power.
Key Features
- A weight saving but seriously effective braking system
- 9mm pump piston and 4 x hollow 14/17 stainless steel brake calliper pistons crank up the power
- Pressure resistant, smooth sliding POM plastic pump pistons
- Rigid C42 brake calliper with preloaded steel yoke bolts
- Master cylinder and calliper made from hardy, low-friction anodised CNC 7075 aluminium, post mount brake calliper mount
- With pressure-resistant Kevlar hose, connected to brake pump by an angled fitting
- With 3D printed, side specific titanium brake levers
- Secured to handlebar with CNC clamp.
- Linear lever power transmission translates finger force into consistent braking force
- 850 Power+ brake pads produce decisive action
- Re-usable, screw-on fittings allow cable length adjustment without spares
- With organic Bionol brake fluid
- Weighs 442g, 230g rear brake plus 212g front brake

The Piccola HD Titanium is a fine example of brake exotica. With light yet strong 3D printed titanium levers, four pistons and an impressive hydraulic ratio of 9mm at the pump piston to 14/17mm in the calliper, it's capable of commanding some serious power.
This impressive power, combined with the new levers, which are not only naturally corrosion resistant but partially hollow, makes the brake set one of the lightest on the market. Durability isn't lacking, though, as the levers are created layer by layer, through a process called additive manufacturing, to ensure they're shaped for stress resistance in the places where it's most needed and tuned to offer optimum strength with minimum weight through their honeycomb structure.
Meticulously engineered, so that the braking force is transmitted proportionally from the brake lever to the brake system, the Piccola HD Titanium will reach full braking effect as soon as the pressure point is reached, with the force increasing steadily as increased pressure is applied to the levers. This gives a predictable braking force, making it easier to fine tune the feel of the brake to match your riding style.
The 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, for increased braking precision, minimal axial play in the lever and a predictive development of force.
Each lever is crafted from powdered titanium, meaning there's minimal wastage during the production process and they display excellent fracture resistance. Their grippy surface texture from this process makes them easy to handle, even without gloves, while the body of the brake is held onto the bar with a strong CNC clamp that perfectly matches the look of the Piccola HD.
The C42 callipers use heat resistant, hollow stainless-steel pistons that absorb and release buildup, along with a high-pressure resistant Kevlar hose, and the brake set is powered by Trickstuff's Bionol.
This organic vegetable oil has a very low viscosity and flows easily through the system, facilitating smooth running. It has a high dry boiling point, which ensures consistent stopping power on long descents and less susceptibility to performance changes at low temperatures, as does the natural heat resistance of the hollow, stainless steel pistons.
The finishing touch to the brake set is the use of Trickstuff's Power+ pads, which give impressive braking power with excellent fading stability and precise modulation. Their nickel-coated back paint not only has excellent anti-corrosive properties but makes them stand out, like the rest of your Piccola HD system.
