TRP (Tektro Racing Products) is the premium arm of the renowned Taiwanese brake manufacturer Tektro, established in 1986. While Tektro has gained global recognition for its dependable and high-quality bicycle brake systems, TRP was launched in 2006 with a specific focus on delivering top-tier braking performance for serious cyclists. TRP’s goal is to provide cyclists with braking systems that excel in durability, precision, and control, achieved through cutting-edge materials and meticulous craftsmanship.

From Tektro to TRP: A Commitment to Excellence

Tektro has been a trusted name in bicycle brake systems for over three decades. Starting with humble beginnings in Taiwan, Tektro’s first factory had just 20 employees and produced 50,000 cantilever rim brakes monthly. The founders, Gary Chen, Leo Chen, and Aver Tsai, built the company on core values such as reliability, creative development, and consistent quality. This ethos has been carried forward in TRP, which has pushed the boundaries of what’s possible in bicycle braking technology.

Precision Engineering and Premium Materials

TRP braking systems are designed with performance and reliability in mind. By utilizing advanced materials such as carbon fibre, titanium, and TT6 aluminium, TRP brakes set new industry standards for control and responsiveness. Whether on the road or the trail, these braking systems are engineered to handle the toughest conditions while maintaining precise stopping power. Extensive testing ensures that TRP brakes can be trusted for the most demanding rides, both on-road and off-road.

Innovation Across Braking and Drivetrain Technology

While TRP is known primarily for its high-performance brakes, including hydraulic disc brakes, rotors, and pads, it has expanded into drivetrain components. The EVO 12 and EVO 7 DH drivetrains, alongside shifters, derailleurs, and cranksets, represent TRP’s commitment to providing a complete cycling solution for serious riders. This innovation ensures seamless integration between braking and shifting systems for a smoother, more controlled riding experience.
