TRP R960 Road Bike Brakes Pro Review - By Twain Mein

• Lightweight Dual Pivot caliper brakes
• Forged and CNC’d 6061 Aluminum Arms
• Adjustable cartridge pad holders with SwissStop pads
• Patened “Slyde” quick release
• Titanium nuts n bolts
• Available in anodized Red or Black
• Reach: 39-49mm
• Claimed weight: 120 grams each; 240 total with pads. Actual 238 grams total with pads.
• MSRP: $399; (Currently available for much less)

TRP specializes in bicycle brake calipers and levers for a range of applications including road, mountain, cross, and tri/tt. They use a variety of materials including carbon, aluminum, and titanium. The TRP R960 is the lightest in their line of road brakes and features very lightweight forged and CNC’d aluminum arms.

What strikes me first about these brakes is that they are massive. The calipers are 30mm wide. They are 100% wider than Zero Gravities which measure 15mm across. They also use three arms to enable the dual pivot mechanism. Conveniently, the centering bolt is easily accessed for fine tuning.

Markus Storck has been working in the wind tunnel apparently. We just got wind of this new time trial bike from the German bike maker. A few details accompanied the photos, here are some of the more interesting points…

• Most aerodynamic Storck frame ever.
• THM Scapula F Fork Equipped
• Carbon front and rear brake fully integrated (preset carbon spring system / easy change brake-pad cartridge system)
• New ergonomic and aerodynamic multi-adjustable STORCK carbon time trial bar system (perfect for newly announced DI2 TT double-shifters)
• Fixed seat dome with multi adjustable seat-angle (73-80°)
• Fully integrated cable routings
• Adjustable rear-dropouts
• Shimano DI2 compatible only
• Estimated frame weight 1200g
• Estimated fork weight 350g
• Estimated seat dome weight 220g
• Estimated US retail $10,000 for fuselage (frameset, bars, stem, headset, seat dome, brakes)

We’re not sure when this will be available for public consumption, but Markus will be on hand at the Interbike Show in Las Vegas next month (so will we!), to hand deliver the Aero 2 to Faris Al Sultan to be raced at Kona.
