TRP G-Spec TR12 SL-M850 Shifter - 12-speed - right - black/black

Rippin’ trails like there’s no tomorrow

The TR12 provides World Cup downhill shifting technologie

The two TRP drivetrain systems TR12 and DH7 are the result of an intimate development relationship with 5-times DH World Cup Overall Champion Aaron Gwin and his personal mechanic John Hall. In 2019, the TRP DH7 had its extensive first season which was crucial for providing additional development input for the TR12 components.

Sequential shifting – like a Rally car. Speed of shifting is key to Aaron, which is why he wanted something a little different. As a result, TRP engineers looked at the cable release lever and devised the Linear Release Action system to move it in a linear path to mimic the motion of a rider’s thumb, rather than rotating it away. This unique positioning allows for a more consistent contact patch providing overall better grip and shifting performance when the trail gets rowdy.

Technical details of the 12-speed shifter:

• sequential „Speed Shifting“
• linear actuation (Linear Release Action) for improved ergonomics and consistent thumb contact
• wave design: embossed grooves on lever paddles for enhanced grip and tactile feel
• carbon fiber upper housing and advance lever
• rider adjustable home position of lower lever with a 40° range
• tool-free straight lace cable changes
• weight: approx. 120 grams (manufacturer's specs)

Material:

• upper housing, push lever: carbon
• release lever: aluminium (forged)
• ball bearings: stainless steel (sealed)
