Overview

TRP's mechanical 12-speed EVO 12 clutch derailleur with Hall Lock lever and cage release, 52T max, 300 g; US$252.99–263.99.

The EVO 12 derailleur is the heart of TRP's mechanical 12-speed MTB group. Its integrated Hall Lock lever stabilises the derailleur on the mounting bolt to reduce drivetrain noise, an upgraded instant silent clutch tames chain slap, and a cage release makes wheel and tyre changes easier.

It uses a horizontal four-bar linkage, a carbon-fibre outer cage and 12T/14T sealed-bearing pulleys, handles up to a 52T sprocket and weighs a claimed 300 g. EVO 12 is TRP's mechanical 12-speed mountain-bike drivetrain, built around a Microspline 10–52T cassette, a clutch derailleur with an integrated Hall Lock lever, a MatchMaker-compatible shifter with a shift-mode switch, and 30 mm-spindle alloy or carbon cranks.
