“AARON AND JOHN KNEW EXACTLY WHAT THEY WANTED.”

AFTER TRP’S DEVELOPMENT TEAM SHOWED AARON AND JOHN THE FIRST PROTOTYPES OF THE TRP DRIVETRAIN CONCEPT, THEY WANTED TO BE PART OF THIS PROJECT. THEY TOOK EVERY OPPORTUNITY TO CONTRIBUTE THEIR EXPERIENCES, VIEWS AND IDEAS TO TRP AND CRITICALLY TESTED THEIR IDEAS THEMSELVES UNTIL THEY BOTH HAD SMILES ON THEIR FACES.

“It’s a pretty complicated project to build a rear derailleur – there are a lot of patents and all kinds of things you have to work around. You really have to be very innovative to find your own way and also to make them better. What I’ve enjoyed most about working with the TRP crew is their confidence in John and me, their belief in the cause and us.” Aaron Gwin

“The end result of improving on a product is continuing to push the limits in all areas. That’s what really drives me. Try it for yourself, it’s pretty cool how you can push biking to new limits with all the improvements – you’ll be blown away.” John Hall

Aaron and his mechanic John Hall are constantly pushing and challenging the TRP team – that’s why we love working with them. In 2016 and 2017, Aaron Gwin already won two of his five overall DH World Cup titles on TRP brakes.

TRP DH7 systems like it steep, fast and are made for breathtaking “Airtime”. Developed in collaboration with Aaron Gwin and John Hall – for demanding descents on 200 mm bikes.

TRP (TEKTRO Racing Products) presents a new shifter and derailleur designed for Gravity riders and downhill racing. The TRP DH7 series drivetrain components are the result of close collaboration with 5 x DH World Cup overall winner Aaron Gwin and his personal mechanic John Hall. From start to finish, the development of this project spanned more than three years. TRP takes the “R” in TRP seriously when it comes to new product development. The “R” is why this brand was created by TEKTRO management in 2006. Building on the values of TEKTRO with a high-end brand – TEKTRO Racing Products. Since then TRP has been working with world champions in cyclocross, BMX and MTB to create new product success stories. The courage of the three owners, Gary Chen, Leo Chen and Aver Tsai, who founded TEKTRO in 1986, to start TRP has paid off over time.
