TRP Brake Pads Designed for High-Power E-Bikes
TRP brakes are widely used across premium and OEM electric bikes thanks to their strong power delivery, excellent modulation and reliable performance under heat. Models such as Trail EVO, DH-R EVO and Slate T4 are especially common on E-MTBs, while Zurich and HD-Series brakes appear on hybrid, trekking and city e-bikes. Gorilla Brakes E-Bike compounds are engineered to cope with these heavier loads and higher braking forces.
