Description
In 2016, TRP began working with reigning world cup champion Aaron Gwin.
Out of the gate, he was impressed with the initial level of performance, but he did have a list of improvements needed to achieve world cup winning performance. Working closely with the TRP development team, improvements were made to every part of the brake necessary. They were then tested on the world cup circuit throughout the season. The result is G-Spec disc brake, Aaron asked and we delivered every detail. With no expense spared creating TRP G-Spec brakes, every rider can now stop with world cup winning performance.
The G-Spec Trail SL places all the best features from the G-Spec DH brakes into a lighter package. If you are wondering what the difference is between our downhill brakes and the new G-Spec TRP Trail brakes just think downhill power tuned specifically for the wide range of speeds experienced while trail riding.
The G-Spec Trail SL gets the same finned caliper body as our downhill brake but mismatched pistons(2x14mm, 2x16mm) allow for improved modulation. The Aaron Gwin lever blade gets mounted to the lightweight trail lever body and offers both direct mount shifter options.

Press/Review
IMB Magazine (Issue 62) - Tested and Reviewed by Ewen Turner
"Perhaps still an underdog in the braking game, the G-Spec Trail SL brakes prove TRP can cut it with the best and offer some of the finest modulation and power out there. A refined braking experience, they provide a viable and desirable alternative to the major players."
