Aaron Gwin shocked the world when he announced that he'd be riding brakes by a relatively unknown brand earlier this year. According to TRP, when they found out Gwin was available they flew out to visit him and test the brakes. Gwin was impressed by both their product and professionalism, and the rest is history. Gwin piloted the four piston Quadiem SL disc brakes to a win in Lourdes. The only major modification he does is to swap the levers from TRP's Slate brakes. On the display stand, these brakes had one of the best feeling bleeds we've ever experienced.
