4/19/2026 7:40am Right, and it’s really, really simple. Just uses basic plastic syringes you can buy at Walmart, nothing special about them and then the bleed puck and putoline 2.5 which is admittedly tricky to find in the US. I’ve had to buy it directly from intend but the trinity is no doubt the easiest brake to bleed, it’s astonishing how easy...

4/17/2026 9:06pm Only big complaint about the Brembo brake is that it utilizes another new pad standard? 🙄 Disappointing if you ask me. Hopefully the performance justifies this. Also 1000 euros with a bleed kit is just insane to me. May as well just hold out and buy Intend trinities at that price point. Also disappointing that every set of Brembos at...

3/12/2026 10:36pm There are a ton of variables when it comes to brakes. A lot of it can be user preference. Some people may prefer their brakes to feel one way while others would prefer something completely different. Some people like their brakes pulling close to the bar with lots of modulation, and others may like it to grab further out and...

3/11/2026 9:36pm I grabbed a bunch of galfer sharks for $54.99 while they lasted on Jenson haha

3/9/2026 8:40am I also have the flash 38 but it’s being tested by a media company right now so I have a loaner zeb. Intend doesn’t care to send media samples for testing so I loaned my own for testing.

3/8/2026 4:52pm I've honestly been pretty thrilled with my Hope Evo GR4 brakes. Paired with the Galfer ebike pads and TRP RS05E 2.3mm rotors and offer tons of stopping power and lots of modulation. I'm about 205-210lb geared up and they have no problem stopping my fat ass on my ebike. Once I get my dh bike back together I'm gonna pair...

3/2/2026 8:26pm Knowing Brembo I'm sure they will come with a premium price tag, I wouldn't be surprised if a set would cost $999. I was lucky enough to run into a Specialized athlete at Whistler last season and got to feel the brakes myself. They feel pretty good and have a firm bite point but curious how that will translate on...

2/28/2026 10:39pm Photos from some testing recently. Made some rotor guards on my 3d printer, going to make the new ones BYB released recently once I get more black filament.

2/28/2026 10:33pm I recently set up some Evo GR4 brakes and used the piston massage tool and got the bleed perfect and they feel pretty stellar so far. I also have a Bambu 3d printer if anyone needs help getting some tools printed out. Have not encountered any caliper rub issues using TRP RS05E race rotors. Once I get my DH bike...

11/28/2025 1:10am Yes. Sold my maximas to someone. Wanted to try the hope evo gr4’s but have a decent lead time on them and I already have the Lewis on hand so I’m curious to try the revised model. There were issues on the previous brake that seem to be resolved on the AX and with a 20/18mm piston layout it should...

11/27/2025 6:40pm Pulled the maximas off my bike, trying the new Lewis AX levers, massive piston layout and excited to try them. Feel really good in the stand, much better than the previous gen lever.

11/24/2025 9:53pm I have a couple sets of their LHP S6 brake if you'd like to grab a set. They're 6 piston brakes with a +20mm post mount built into the caliper. Could be the perfect heavy duty brake for you.

11/24/2025 12:42pm The maxima has a less precise lever feel but it definitely has a little bit more stopping power. Take ‘less precise’ with a grain of salt as the trinity is the most precise feeling lever I’ve ever tried. Maxima is still a very precise lever but not quite how the intend feels. Also feels like the maxima has an easier...

I agree. Bike originally had a fox podium on it which is why I had the live valve shock. Thought about painting it kashima color too but now that I have the intend fork I have my eye on getting a matching hover rear shock or possible a fast fénix

10/1/2025 9:32pm Have really been enjoying my Lewven brakes lately. LHP+ levers paired up with maven ultimates. Still have that wall of power when you lay into the brakes, but much lighter lever throw and still good modulation. Ran them for a week at whistler with no issues and even sold a friend on the Frankenstein setup and he is getting the...
