Are TRP brakes any good? ›

On the Trail

I've had generally positive experiences with a number of TRP brakes over the years, but have been left wanting for more power for use on bigger Enduro and DH bikes. The DH-R Evo, though, is very much up to the task.

Traild ceramic pads withstand high temperatures from repeated use without fading, which means you can rely on them to maintain consistent braking power, even in extreme conditions, because consistency inspires confidence.

There are two brands under Tektro Technology Corporation – Tektro & TRP. Tektro's positioning is focusing on middle to entry level, competitive products which meet the market demand. Product category including MTB, road, E-bikes, and Cargo bike.

TRP DHR EVO

Just like the Maven, TRP uses mineral oil to push those pistons around, and use the same brake pads as modern Shimano four piston brakes, making finding spares easy as could be.

Failure to bed-in your brakes can lead to uneven buildup of film on the rotors resulting in "brake judder" - a vibration, sometimes severe, that will be felt through the steering wheel and suspension caused by the pads losing and regaining contact with the discs as they rotate, due to the uneven buildup.

WARNING - Pad thickness must be at least 0.8 mm. Confirm this before each ride. Keep pads clean and free of oil or hydraulic fluid. If pads become contaminated discard and replace.

The duration required to bed in new brake discs and pads can vary depending on several factors, including the type of brake pads, driving conditions, and vehicle specifications. In general, it may take anywhere from 100 to 300 miles of normal driving for the bedding-in process to complete fully.

Made specially to meet the unique needs of police vehicles, every aspect of Wagner PPV brake pads is carefully engineered, tested and optimized by the in-house team of Wagner engineers. Wagner PPV brake pads resist high heat and reduce wear to deliver quiet, powerful performance and long life.

Genuine OEM parts typically offer better reliability, warranties and fitment than aftermarket parts. On the other hand, you have more variety with aftermarket or third-party auto parts, and they may even perform better than OEM components when towing large loads or racing.

What is the difference between TRP and Tektro? ›

The Tektro and TRP brakes differ in their intended use. The Tektro brake portfolio is more suitable for the urban SUV eBike or entry-level eMTB application area and impresses with its functionality, slim design and sportiness. The TRP portfolio is also characterized by elements that allow for highly sporty eMTB use.

OEM brake pads and rotors are made for your car by the same engineers who designed it, which can provide some peace of mind. However, there are plenty of brake pad options from aftermarket brands like Duralast and Brembo that operate as good as the original equipment brakes, and often even better.

Brembo: Brembo is synonymous with precision and performance in the world of brakes. Their products are widely used in motorsports and are often selected by manufacturers for use in high-performance models. Brembo brakes are known for their exceptional stopping power, durability, and advanced technology.
