TRP doesn’t have anything major to reveal at Eurobike, but they plan on showing an e-bike version of the Quadiem at Taichung Bike Week in October. The difference between the standard MTB Quadiem and the e-MTB version is that the rotor has been beefed up from 1.9mm thickness to 2.2mm. The caliper is also widened to accommodate the thicker rotor size. That extra bit of material helps slow down some of the beefier e-bikes dropping in to the market these days.
