So, instead of Black Friday savings, ultra-premium, and already limited production, Intend Trinity mountain bike brakes get an even more exclusive and more expensive Trini[Ti] upgrade with an extra dose of titanium! Just 50 sets of Intend TrinTi brakes will ever be made, going on sale at 3pm & 4pm in Europe (9am & 10am EST). DH first, then Enduro/Trail.
They will sell out fast, so if you’ve got more than a thousand euros to burn on some ultra-premium mountain bike brakes, you better set an alarm!
Today Only! Intend Trini[Ti] ultra-limited Trinity MTB brakes
It’s been a couple years since we covered Intend’s ultralight, ultra-powerful 4-piston Trinity brakes when they were still officially just a prototype. They’ve since gone on to be a 800-900€ brakeset that is so sought after, you have to subscribe to Intend’s newsletter to snack a set up when a new batch is made available a couple times a year.
Now… “Instead of discounts and mass production, Intend is introducing something rare and extraordinary.“
Originals vs. Blackline
This past spring, Intend announced a bit of a split in their product line-up – Originals vs. Blackline. Originals were those components that would still online be available consumer-direct from Intend. They feature the classic look and premium performance originally imagined by founder Cornelius Kapfinger – that is natural hard-anodized gold moving parts mixed with black ano fixed elements.
The newer Blackline was developed as an all-black ano alternative that was more suitable to a bikeshop dealer distribution solution, while still offering Intend’s signature precision, attention to detail, and performance. Just “(usually) very black” because that was what customers kept asking for.
So what’s new in the TriniTi brakes and how do they fit in?
First off, even though they are all black, technically these limited edition TriniTi brakes still fall under the ‘Originals’ designation. They are the absolute highest level of performance, and will only be sold direct. Intend says they simply couldn’t resist making them all-black for the Black Friday release.
Compared to the standard Trinity, the new Trini[Ti] brakes get:
- 4x 17mm brake pistons, now machined from titanium
- hard anodized black 7075 aluminum levers
- hard anodized black 7075 brake pad Refrigerator cooling fins for the DH version
- hard anodized black 7075 piston washers
- blackened titanium bolts for almost all parts on the caliper and master cylinder
- this limited edition brakeset, also includes an extra spare brake lever in ltd black ano
Besides the new titanium pistons, black ti hardware, and hard anodized black aluminum finishes, everything else is functionally identical to the standard Trinity ‘Original’s brakes.
You get the same “low mass” radial piston brake lever pushing mineral oil to the “huge mass” 4-piston caliper for tremendous stopping power from a brakeset that weighs just 244g for Enduro or 257g for DH.
