“It is a pretty complicated project to make a derailleur – there are a lot of patents and all kind of things you have to work around, so you’ve got to be really kind of innovative to find your own way to do things and also to make it better. The thing I enjoyed most working with the TRP crew, is their trust in John and I, their believe and vice versa.” Aaron Gwin

“The end result of improvement, whether it is a product, whether it is results, just elevating the game in all areas – that’s what really drives me. Take a chance on it, it is pretty cool how the product grows on you and it becomes yours – you’ll be blown away.” John Hall

Aaron and his mechanic John Hall are constantly pushing and challenging the TRP Team – this is why we like working with them. 2016 and 2017, Aaron Gwin won two of his five DH WorldCup overall titles on TRP brakes.

TRP (TEKTRO Racing Products) presents a new shifter and derailleur designed for the gravity-focused rider. The TRP DH7 series drivetrain components are the result of an intimate development relationship with 5 x DH WorldCup Overall Champion Aaron Gwin and his personal mechanic John Hall. From start to finish this project spanned more than three years. TRP is taking the “R” in TRP when it comes to developing new product. The “R” is the reason this brand was started in 2006 by the TEKTRO management. Building on TEKTRO’s values with a high-end product 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 the three owners, Gary Chen, Leo Chen and Aver Tsai, who founded TEKTRO in 1986, has paid off over time.
