Dialed AF? TRP’s New EVO Pro Brakes

TRP has dropped their latest stoppers, the EVO Pro brakes, building on the DH-R EVO's legacy. These brakes boast a redesigned lever with tool-free reach adjust and a new Pad Actuation Dial (PAD), letting riders fine-tune the bite point to their liking. The result is a firmer feel and increased power, all while maintaining that signature TRP modulation. Plus, the slimmer lever design plays nice with various cockpit setups, making it a solid choice for those seeking both performance and customization.
