TRP Quadiem Four-Piston Disc Brakes & RevoX Carbon Cantilevers Unveiled

I dislike this company. If you look at the rotors you can see that they copied Magura storm SL on one piece design and AbsoluteBlack spider with Avid braking surface on 2-piece design. There is just to many similarities to say it’s entirely their own.

Seth – how would you feel if i steal your bike? Same thing is with stealing the idea or shape.
Regular consumer does not bother because it’s not his, he just want it cheap. But price does not come from nowhere…

I wish you good luck when you invent something and then someone else will use it.

TRP did not stel Magura’s design. It is blatantly false to say otherwise. This fool probably just has an angst against Asian products.

to me they look similar:

different count of wedges by braking pattern is similar.

Actually there are. Look around on all disc rotors and name 2 from different brands which are very similar. Every single company has it’s own pattern – Shimano, Sram, Ashima, KCNC, Formula, Trickstuff, Hope, Scrub, absoluteBlack Carbon-ti, Progress, New Ultimate, Alligator etc… Of course some brands are owned by others thus same rotor under different brand name- BUT it’s still within one company/owner.

TRP from the other hand borrows others designs- look at top picture. You can say straight away that it’s Avid new friction pattern with few mods. They rely on people naiveness and memory to shape – lets do something similar to big brand so people will think it’s cool.

Also if you think that disc is a disc then ok. I have tried almost everything on the market and can easily say that good rotor MAKE a difference. Grab yourself Magura Marta Storm SL disc for eg and i bet it will be 10 times better from what you have now.

I am sure Trp has a patent for their rotor design just like magura or absoluteblack do, you are clearly an idiot if you think drilled rotors or slotted rotors are so unique that once it has been done once it can never be done again. The drilling on the new avid rotors is not paired holes, the holes are offset. The cutouts on the Magura are trapezoidal (similar to previous avid rotors) the cutouts on trp one piece are the same width top and bottom. unless you design rotors for a living you should probably shut up, and if you do make rotors and feel like trp stole your design you should call your lawyer and still shut the hell up.
