Please welcome our latest member, the Intend Trinity brake system. It took around 5 years to get all thoughts about an ideal brake system together. Bleeding, hydraulic leverage, indestructable BMC piston seal design and many more things. 3 years of engineering, 1,5 years of testing, testing and testing.
The result is – in our eyes – the most advanced brake system ever made. All parts are made as cnc parts with highest precision and lowest tolerances, out of durable 7075 aluminum. We had several crashes with the pumps, no defects and failures. The main body of the BMC is made out of a special high strength aluminum which rather “bends” than cracks.
Worth to know:
– Although we have 4x 17mm piston, we achieve a constant pressure on the brake pads. Some companies are making bigger pistons in the front and smaller in the rear to equal the dynamic pressure from the rotation and friction of the rotor. Instead of the different piston sizes, you can also make the brake pads asymetric to the pistons, exactly like every company does it with 2 piston caliper brake pads. So we calculated the friction in the system in the average of the wear of the brake pad and adjusted the position of the brake pad in relation to the 17mm pistons. The result is a small shift of the pads to the back side, which leads to constant pressure and wear of the pads.
– Intend Trinity uses Avid Code style brake pads, so you have a wide choice of compatible brake pads.
– We have a rear hose length of 200cm and a front hose length of 100cm. The front one fits to 99% of all bikes out there without the necessity of shortening it. So take the brake, mount it and it will be perfect. If you need a longer front or rear hose, please contact us. While we recommend to only use our brake hose, they are basically equivalent to the Shimano BH-90 standard. However Shimano uses 2x 6×0,9mm o-rings and we have 2x 6×1,2mm o-rings. So if you’re using a Shimano hose for our brake, please use Shimano o-rings for the banjo.
– We recommend using only the Putoline 2,5 mineral oil. However if in need and you don’t have the Putoline, any regular brake mineral oil like the Shimano should work.
– Everything you need for riding and to get started is included. Brake pads, bleeding stuff, bolts.
– All necessary installation instructions can be found on the order sheet which is shipped with the brake system.
