CONCLUSIONS: The new Direttissima can already be considered a kind of hero, because our test brake has already survived the Rampage in Utah. Apart from that, the 399 euro brake is packed with expertise. A quadruple ball-bearing lever with toggle lever principle, large reservoir and pressure-resistant Kevlar lines. Equipped in this way, the Trickstuff impressed with a firm pressure point, decent braking performance and solid stability. Only the 105-kilo rider caused the brakes to thread at the end of the descent. Defects: none.


BIKE judgement² VERY GOOD

  PLUS Trickstuff: Our pre-series test sample has already had a taste of Rampage on Tomas Zeyda's bike. The quadruple ball-bearing lever sits comfortably on the finger and provides a crisp pressure point. Pressure-stable Kevlar lines and a large reservoir are top notch.Photo: Daniel Simon PLUS Trickstuff: Our pre-series test sample has already had a taste of Rampage on Tomas Zeyda's bike.

Hysteresis loop: red = dry braking, blue = wet braking, the horizontal axis shows the manual force, the vertical axis the braking force in Newtons.
The score for braking force and stability is based on the laboratory and practical results.
The price is for one front brake.
²The BIKE judgement is independent of price. It is not an addition of the individual ratings.
BIKE judgements: super, very good, good, satisfactory, with weaknesses, unsatisfactory.
