Trickstuff Piccola HD Brakeset, Black/Silver, Kevlar Hose Front 900mm - Rear 1700mm, C42 Caliper

Trickstuff Piccola HD Brakes

Trickstuff is a German brand known for building what many consider to be the most elite brakes in the mountain bike world. Every component is crafted with precision—CNC-machined calipers, hand-assembled levers, and top-tier performance built into every piece. These brakes aren’t about mass production; they’re about maximum performance for riders who take braking seriously.

The Piccola HD is the next evolution of Trickstuff’s ultralight cross-country brake. Taking everything loved about the original Piccola, the HD version adds a powerful 4-piston caliper to increase bite and control for more aggressive XC, light trail, or even e-MTB setups. The result is a perfect balance of low weight and high braking power.

Notable upgrades include the beautifully engineered 3D-printed titanium lever, which provides unmatched strength with minimal weight. Combined with the smooth engagement Trickstuff is known for and the premium POWER+ pads pre-installed, the Piccola HD is a lightweight brake with trail-worthy muscle.
