Green Trickstuff Direttissima Brakes with Howling Wolf Hint of Limited Special Series

Trickstuff has quietly introduced a limited edition of their renowned Direttissima mountain bike brakes, featuring a striking forest green anodised finish and laser-etched caliper bodies adorned with a howling wolf and forest scene. This Special Series pays homage to the brand’s Black Forest heritage, marking the first vibrant colour update for the Direttissima line in over a decade. With only 250 sets available, these brakes maintain the same price point as the standard model, retailing at €1100 per pair excluding rotors. The Direttissima brakes are celebrated for their exceptional power and modulation, offering riders a uniquely progressive lever feel that delivers precise control from initial bite to maximum stopping force. Their design incorporates CNC-machined 7075 aluminium, a ball-bearing lever with a progressive toggle joint linkage, and balanced 4-piston calipers with Kevlar brake hoses. Weighing in at just over 500 grams per set, these brakes combine lightweight construction with high-performance braking, making them well-suited for all-mountain and enduro riding. Riders familiar with Trickstuff’s Maxima brakes, which share a similar architecture, praise the Direttissima for its ability to provide immense power without causing arm pump, even on long, demanding descents. This characteristic allows for sustained, fatigue-free braking, a notable advantage over many other high-powered brake systems. The Special Series Forest Green edition is offered in a single configuration with silver levers and pump body, traditional left/front brake setup, and Kevlar hoses. The launch of this limited edition hints at a possible future direction for Trickstuff, potentially embracing more colour options and special series releases. While the Forest Green Direttissima is a niche product due to its limited availability and premium price, it underscores the brand’s commitment to combining aesthetic appeal with cutting-edge performance. Interested riders can purchase the set directly from Trickstuff’s website or through authorised dealers while stocks last.
