TRICKSTUFF MAXIMA BRAKE SET

With the MAXIMA, we aimed to put an end to any debate about the most powerful bicycle brake. It is the most powerful brake we have ever built and, therefore, the most powerful bicycle brake in the world. Building a powerful brake was relatively simple. What was less straightforward was building a brake that, despite its great power, had the same exceptional modulation as all Trickstuff brakes. After all, power is nothing without control.

It seems to have worked. Our testers Mick Hannah, Jakob Breitwieser, Nina Hoffmann, and Gee & Rachel Atherton are thrilled. They have already won numerous medals in the Downhill World Cup with the MAXIMA.

TRICKSTUFF MAXIMA BRAKE SET MAIN FEATURES:

• ERGONOMICS: Nothing disturbs and annoys the finger rest as much as angles and edges. That's why we don't have a single one at the contact point between brake and rider. The surface shape, made with special milling heads, ensures a brake without pressure points even after kilometers of descents.
  The finger rest is also free of annoying friction points such as holes, grooves, or depressions. The brake lever should not tame the finger; the finger should tame the lever. During the natural braking movement, the finger slides on the brake lever the closer it gets to the handlebar. This movement must be supported by a smooth surface and not hindered by static friction. This means the hand does not have to rotate to compensate: the handlebar remains firmly in grip. Try it.
• HANDLEBAR CLAMP: The two-part milled handlebar clamp is significantly more stable than the previous wrap-around clamp and generously compensates for handlebar tolerances. Naturally, it is designed for use with our interfaces for shift levers or hydraulic seat post levers.
• TOOL-FREE LEVER WIDTH ADJUSTMENT: Simple, efficient, appreciated by our riders: for quick brake adjustments for the next track.
• BRAKE LINE
  The MAXIMA comes with Goodridge steel brake lines. The stainless steel braid ensures the most pressure-resistant brake line of all bicycle brakes. The result is a defined pressure point despite the enormous transmission ratio.
• The flexible Goodridge steel brake line has a diameter of 6 mm (compared to 5 mm for other brake lines). Therefore, it does not fit through the openings for internal cable routing on all frames. If this is a problem for you, we will be happy to provide you with a "naked" steel flexible hose. This has a diameter of 5 mm, as the steel braid is not coated with plastic.
• The MAXIMA is also available with a high-pressure resistant Kevlar hose (5 mm).
• DOT versus oil? No other question occupies the minds of brake experts more than the question of brake fluid. It is more a religious matter than a technical one.
  The fact is that - and practice proves it - both work! Both work! For the MAXIMA, we opted for oil, but not just any oil: our Bionol by DANICO is a vegetable oil with a very high boiling point: 300°C, which is higher than the boiling point of DOT 5.1. The result: even greater protection against brake fluid boiling.
• BRAKE PADS
  For the MAXIMA, we adopted the shape of the Hope V4 brake pads. This pad has a large surface area and contributes to the stability of the MAXIMA. Like all Trickstuff brakes, the MAXIMA is approved for use with pads and rotors from third-party suppliers.
