Fresh off the back of yesterday's launch of the new SRAM XX SL Eagle groupset, and with the cycling industry going into a meltdown over the SRAM launch, TRP (Tektro Racing Products) may have slightly mistimed the launch of its own new Evo groupset. However, TRP promises cutting-edge technology, superior craftsmanship, and impeccable attention to detail, with the Evo groupset being aimed to challenge as one of the best mountain bike groupsets on the market.
Tektro has been around since 1986, starting with just twenty employees in Changhua, Taiwan. It launched its first hydraulic disc brake in 1999, which still is the company‘s most successful and important product. Now with production facilities in Taiwan and China it has over 1,200 employees. They founded TRP in 2006 and Tektro Racing Products have since created multiple product success stories and numerous race wins in downhill mountain biking and cyclocross. They have also recently partnered with Bosch eBike, becoming the second brake manufacturer to offer a brake option for the Bosch ABS system.
