Italian architecture wasn’t built for this, but Felipe doesn’t care.
Cafés, statues, stair gaps, all getting blasted into background blur while he keeps the throttle glued wide open.
Felipe Agurto showed up to cash in with the most reckless finesse possible.

The TRP Brakes Timeline: From Rim Squeaks to World Cup Screeches
PC: TRP Cycling
1986 – The Garage Band Days
Three guys in Taiwan looked at the sad state of rim brakes and said, “Nope. We can do better.”
Tektro was born in a workshop that was basically a glorified broom closet with big dreams and zero chill.
These weren’t corporate suits, these were dudes welding up the future of stopping power while eating instant noodles and arguing about leverage ratios.
What rolled out of that tiny factory wasn’t pretty at first, but it worked better than hope-and-prayer cantis, and that was enough to start a revolution.
1999 – Hydros Enter the Chat
By the end of the ’90s, mountain biking had gone full punk rock: more speed, more chaos, bigger everything, and Tektro came strolling in with hydraulic disc brakes like a guy kicking open the saloon doors in a Western.
Overnight, riders went from “Squeeze and pray” to “Oh, so THIS is what stopping feels like.” Suddenly, the whispers started: “That rim brake company? Yeah, they’re cooking up something wild.”
Nobody knew it yet, but this was the first taste of the monster Tektro was about to unleash on the bike world.
2006 – TRP is Born
Enter TRP: Tektro Racing Products.
Same family name, but this was the black sheep with a sports car, leather jacket, and no intention of showing up on time.
Carbon, titanium, aerospace aluminum, it was like a materials science experiment that escaped the lab and hit the race circuit.
TRP wasn’t here for weekend hobbyists or budget builds; this was the fancy, loud cousin who drinks espresso at 10 p.m. and signs World Cup contracts while everyone else is still debating rotor sizes on the internet.
2010s – Prototype Chaos and Race Testing
TRP rolled into the World Cup pits like a mad scientist handing out live grenades.
Calipers were slapped onto DH bikes with one instruction: “Blow these up so we can make them scarier.” Rampage, Enduro, World Cups, TRP was there, lurking in the background like the quiet kid in class who turns out to be a genius.
Prototypes came back scorched, leaking, maybe even cursed, but every time, they rebuilt them meaner, stronger, faster.
It was less “research and development” and more “mountain biking Fight Club with brake fluid.”
2015 – Enter the Aaron Gwin Era
PC: TRP Cycling
Then Aaron Gwin strolled in.
TRP listened.
Suddenly, we’re watching Gwin put down World Cup runs so fast it looked like the footage was on fast-forward.
Rumors spread: “What brakes is he running?”
Riders started side-eyeing their own setups, wondering if they were missing out on some secret sauce.
PC: TRP Cycling
TRP went from “that boutique brand” to “oh, you wanna win stuff? Call these guys.”
2018 – DHR EVO Goes Nuclear
TRP's New DHR EVO & eMTB Brakes | The Loam Wolf
By 2018, TRP stopped messing around and dropped the DHR EVO like a mic at the end of a rap battle.
Thicker rotors, refined levers, improved heat dissipation. The works.
It was a complete personality shift. The brakes went from “very good” to “I think I just ripped a hole in time and space.”
Riders could charge harder, brake later, and basically bully any trail.
The DHR EVO wasn’t just a product; it was TRP announcing they were done playing nice.
2020s – Full CNC Bling Mode
At this point, TRP looked at brakes and said, “We need something shinier!”
The result: CNC calipers so shiny you need sunglasses just to bleed them.
Every edge, every cut, every angle screamed precision engineering with a side of “don’t scratch me, I’m art.”
But beneath that mirror-polished finish was raw, unhinged stopping power. e-MTBs, DH rigs, park bikes, didn’t matter.
You could strap these to a shopping cart and win Red Bull Rampage.
Today – World Cup Proven, Trail Rider Approved
PC: TRP Cycling
Now, TRP sits at the cool kids’ table.
From riders hucking 40-foot gaps at Rampage to weekend warriors sending questionable doubles behind the local Taco Bell, TRP brakes have reached a weird level of universal respect.
Modulation? Like butter.
Power? Like a caffeine-addled rhino.
Legacy? Cemented harder than a forgotten sidewalk handprint.

Trail of the Day
Cacciatore Mountain Biking Trail - Finale Ligure
Madonna della Guardia lures you in with a friendly fast start, like it wants to be your buddy, then suddenly throws you into steeps that feel like they were carved by someone in a really bad mood.
Tight corners keep coming like a bad text thread you can’t escape, and the trail just gets spicier the lower you go.
Halfway through, you cross a sketchy little track that dares you to stay upright.
Then it’s back into corner chaos before the grand finale: a rock garden so exposed it should come with a PG-13 rating.
By the time you hit the river at the bottom, you’re sweating, swearing, and secretly wanting to do it again.
That’s all for today folks. We hope everyone gets some saddle time out there. See you all tomorrow! 🤙
