The question TRP asked themselves was this: How do we adapt our braking performance and power to the new standard of World-Cup level downhill racing?
The result was a completely re-designed DH-R: the new DH-R EVO. A new ergonomic lever-blade, newly formulated brake pad compounds, new high-performance hydraulic oil, new 5 mm brake hose-system, newly designed and CNC-machined adapters, new selection of 2.3 rotors, newly designed oil flow inside the callipers, new hydraulic leverage ratio, and a smaller size master cylinder piston lift the overall performance of the DH-R EVO to this new standard of racing.
