RÉMY MÉTAILLER CHOOSES TRP BRAKES FOR 2017

Flying Frenchie grabs TRP G-Spec stoppers for DH and freeride

26 January - Utah: TRP are delighted to announce an exciting new partnership with French freerider Rémy Métailler. Known as the ‘Flying Frenchie’, he brings to the table a level of riding matched by few in the mountain bike world which is sure to prove a valuable asset to TRP.

Métailler will run TRP brakes for the 2017 season, using both the eagerly awaited G-Spec Quadiem on his downhill bike and the new G-Spec Slate on his trail bikes.

Rémy is based in Canada’s much loved MTB mecca Whistler where he has a reputation for being one of the most progressive and innovative riders in the park. A two-time Rampage finalist, he’ll be gunning for a spot well within the top ten this year. During his packed top-level season, Métailler will have plenty of opportunities to get involved in the ongoing R&D of TRP brakes, making similar contributions to those of four-time World Cup champ and TRP rider Aaron Gwin. Alongside the California, the 26-year-old Frenchman will help to develop products based on his experience gained on some of the most diverse tracks, trails and runs around the globe.

Rémy Métailler said: “I am so proud to be working with TRP, the prospect of developing future products is exciting, it’s great to work with a such a progressive and adaptable braking system, it will look so rad on my new bike!”

TRP will be launching the full details on both the G-Spec Quadiem and the G-Spec Slate in the first quarter of 2017 plus Métailler will be unveiling his new bike sponsor in early February so keep your eyes peeled on his social media feeds – packed with some astonishing videos – and on TRP Brakes’ Facebook and Twitter for further exciting news.

To celebrate this new partnership with Rémy, TRP are giving away a set of hugely popular Slate T4 brakes - click on the following link to enter: http://bit.ly/slate_t4

Blenki was also on a new shorter travel bike. It might be the already shown sight but it could also be the yet unannounced Range.

Didn't Gwin mention something about a 4 person team in 2017? Could Remy be the fourth man on the YT Team?

He said that to Richie, asking him about the possibility of having Richie in the team and if he should make some space in the mob. He said four IF Richie jumped in.
Now we know that the third guy is Neko, but Richie is still with Yeti so...no 4 man squad on the Mob this year.

For example, Kraftstoffs are as well, Solid bikes used their stuff and Mondraker, before they developed the Zero line of bikes (when they first signed Barel). And some other small brands as well (we have a brand in Slovenia that used to sell their frames).

I don't follow any riders on instagram but Gwin popped up so I had a look and he says this is a plastic model of his new onza tyre coming out.

Leaving for Norco? Does anybody have an idea where else he could be going?
Makes sense that he is leaving if canyon is trying to get the money for a DH team together.. (Brosnan???)

Not sure about Norco.

But i just saw him following Shimano and Giro on Instagram plus 2 others but I can't see which ones...

Hmm shimano and Giro sounds a bit like Yeti... but it could be anything.
He's following BMC too.
Yes, Ludo is on BMC
