TRP's 12-Speed Mechanical Drivetrain Takes on Mountain Trails

TRP is launching its new EVO7 and EVO12 mountain bike drivetrains in April, with the EVO12 aimed at the XO/XTR Trail level. The drivetrain features a complete group, including cranks, chainring, and cassette, and is designed to work with TRP's brakes. The EVO12 derailleur has a stiffer body, linear parallelogram actuation, and a Hall Lock to steady the derailleur body. The shifter has a more compact design and reduced small parts, while the cassette is a two-piece construction that comes in 1g lighter than XX1 and 2g lighter than XTR.
