Trickstuff Maxima Ocean Blue LTD: a limited edition that bets on braking power and exclusivity

Trickstuff is one of those brands that has managed to make a name for itself among high-performance MTB enthusiasts thanks to its braking systems. Its catalog includes some of the most exclusive brakes on the market, and the Maxima are one of its most recognizable models.

Now, the German brand has decided to give them a completely different look with the presentation of the Maxima Ocean Blue LTD, a special edition that maintains all the technology of the original model but introduces an exclusive aesthetic and a very limited production.

The most striking element is the brake calipers, machined from 7075 aluminum using CNC and finished with a dark blue anodizing. On this finish, white wave graphics surround the Maxima logo and reinforce the marine inspiration of this edition.

The same blue has been used on the brake fluid reservoir caps, creating a uniform aesthetic between the calipers and the levers. For their part, the levers, the body of the pumps, and the Kevlar-reinforced hoses maintain the usual black finish.

This is not the first time Trickstuff has used this color for a special edition. Previously, it had already presented the Direttissima Arctic Blue, although it opted for a considerably lighter shade then.

The same technology as the original Maxima

Beyond its exclusive finish, the new Maxima Ocean Blue LTD are technically identical to the conventional Maxima. This means they retain their four-piston braking system, with two different diameters of 16 and 17 mm, made of stainless steel and with a hollow construction.

One of the peculiarities of these brakes is in their levers, which incorporate a pivoting lever mechanism supported by four bearings. This system allows the lever ratio to increase progressively as the brake is engaged, a solution designed to modify the response during braking.

Additionally, the distance from the lever to the handlebar can be adjusted without the need for tools.

The main specifications of the Trickstuff Maxima Ocean Blue LTD are:

• Calipers: CNC machined 7075 aluminum with Post Mount attachment
• Pistons: four hollow stainless steel pistons, 16 and 17 mm
• Hoses: Kevlar-reinforced, with lengths of 90 cm front and 170 cm rear
• Pads: Trickstuff, format 730
• Brake fluid: Trickstuff Bionol
• Reach adjustment: tool-free
• Declared weight: 540 grams per set, with 262 g for the front and 278 g for the rear
• Price: 1,300 euros per set, excluding discs

The declared weight by Trickstuff includes the hoses, pads, screws, and lever clamps.

Only 200 sets and a price of 1,300 euros

As is often the case with this type of launch, exclusivity plays a leading role. Trickstuff has confirmed that the production of the Maxima Ocean Blue LTD will be limited to 200 sets, each consisting of one front brake and one rear brake.

The price is 1,300 euros per set, excluding brake discs, and they are marketed both through the official Trickstuff store and specialized distributors.
