TRP G-Spec DH7 Derailleur and Shifter Kit 7-speed black

TRP G-Spec DH7 Derailleur and Shifter Kit
TRP research and development worked closely with Aaron Gwin and his mechanic John Hall to build this advanced DH derailleur. The ongoing competition among the best mechanics in the world during a World Cup season is to build the quietest bike on the track. John identified the movement of the derailleur around the B-knuckle as one of the points for improvement. This inspired John‘s idea to lock the B-knuckle to the bike‘s derailleur hanger.

The DH7 Shifter
Ergonomics are key to Aaron and he wanted something different for a reason. In addition to adjustability, TRP engineers looked at the cable release lever’s ergonomics and devised a system to move it in a linear path to mimic the motion of a rider’s thumb rather than rotating away.

DH7 Shifter features
• Shift levers designed and located for optimum performance by Aaron Gwin
• Enhanced grip and tactile feel built into lever paddles: Embossed grooves on advance and release lever
• Carbon fibre upper housing & advance lever position with brake lever
• Ball-bearing equipped
• 7-speed

About HALL LOCK
TRP engineers worked closely with John Hall to create the Hall Lock. A Lever integrated into the B-knuckle mount, which can be opened or closed, as needed. For working on the derailleur or changing the wheel, the Hall Lock is opened. When locked, the derailleur is stabilized for the roughest conditions. This feature helps maintain the utmost accuracy in shifting and superb chain retention. Its clamping force can be adjusted to balance stability and security with the derailleur’s ability to deflect on impact.

Hall Lock is an on/off feature with adjustable force that brings TRP’s derailleurs the utmost stability, accuracy, chain retention and quietness in operation for mountain biking’s roughest conditions
It can lock-out the main pivot bolt to prevent your derailleur from lifting, slapping and making noise
You can set it up however you like – if you want maximum stability you can lock it; if you like it to move like a standard derailleur you can adjust it to do so

About the RATCHET CLUTCH
The second derailleur feature is a ratchet style clutch, which is adjustable. Depending on a full suspension bike’s design, there can be enough chain growth to feel resistance from the clutch. If a rider wants to free up the system up, he or she can back off the clutch to balance pedal feedback with the clutch’s chain retaining properties.

• Large diameter clutch surfaces for wear resistance and predictable force generation
• Oversized friction surface area for consistent force output
• Adjustable clutch force provides a wide range of customizable ride tuning and compensation for wear
• Quick and easy on/off switch removes all clutch force when needed for wheel changes
• Robust pawl engagement

Chain length Indicator
Indicators printed on the knuckle and the cage for easy viewing
