Polygon UR Partners With Trickstuff
Sat 28th Jan, 2017 @ 3:30 am
Nothing but brakes, bruv! Team Polygon UR have teamed up with brake boffins Trickstuff to run their monumental stoppers on their team bikes for the coming season. The company with the shiny reservoir lids comprises a team of just six and hand builds its products in Germany. Sounds so good, we want a pair!
The team is always open on any products and also on any kind of companies independently of their size or background. With Trickstuff we are making a partnership because we are impressed about their handmade products. Even though Trickstuff is a very small company with a small production, their brakes along with Galfer rotors and pads have reached a level of performance the riders had never seen before.
At the end of the 2016 season after having seen they won some test for the most powerful brakes, we were curious about it and asked them to ship us a set. From there even Mick Hannah choose them to ride at world champs in Val Di Sole.
The breaking power, the very little effort to do on the lever to break and the consistency are the key points that makes those brakes better.
We are setting this partnership to take an even further the level of performance and redefine some details. We are pretty sure things coming will set the bench mark.
We hope now everyone will make good use of those beautiful pieces and hopefully Sam Reynolds can recover from his first testing session 😉
Klaus Liedler, Trickstuff CEO:
“At Trickstuff we are very proud that our brakes are chosen by Polygon UR one of the best teams in the world as we believe our precision engineered products are meant to race at the highest level.”
Located in Freiburg, Germany the company’s workforce is six people, all are passionate riders, three of them are engineers. The main products are the brakes, The DIRETTISSIMA is the world’s most powerful brake, the PICCOLA is the lightweight world record holder. Every brake is handmade in the company’s workshop, according to the customer’s wishes and needs choosing between nine anodizing colours and two hose types.
