The Decathlon Ford Racing Team is testing some new TRP brakes

In Val di Sole we were able to see that the Decthalon Ford Racing Team is testing new TRP two-piston brakes. We could say that it is a prototype, but at first sight it looks like a final model not yet presented.

The Decathlon Ford Racing Team is competing with a new model of TRP brakes

For a couple of races now, the cyclists of the Decathlon Ford Racing Team have been competing with new brakes mounted on their Rockrider RACE 940 S. It seems to be a new model of TRP that would evolve the current Slate for XC.

In Val di Sole we were able to take these images where it is clearly seen how the lever reservoir has lost the "hump" of the current model and now looks much cleaner and robust. A point to highlight with the current trend of integration and cableless components.

There is no doubt that this is a new model as this version comes with a flat reservoir and much better integrated into the lever. Its aesthetics somewhat resemble those of the brand's DH models.
They are still double-piston calipers, the best option for XC and XCM due to their great balance between power and weight
In the XCO World Cup, big brands like Shimano or SRAM dominate with their endless sponsorships most of the bikes on the grid. But TRP is one of the most highly valued brands by all those who test their components, and their brakes are very popular in gravity.
The reservoir is much more compact and the lever is more integrated into the handlebar

It seems like a model ready to be presented to the market

It would not be surprising if this new model is presented before the Paris Olympics. American Savilia Blunk, confirmed by her selection, and probably her teammate, Italian Greta Seiwald, could compete in Paris with them.
