i didn't see anything about it, but the site doesn't seem to be "official" yet, some of the links (ie data sheets) still point to the 7spd docs.
Im sure they will come out wirh a 11-60 casette to fit an hg driver
i just googled it, there were spy shots of it from this time last year posted on bikerumor, and they were running it with an e13 cassette, xtr 12 speed, as well as eagle.
interestingly there was one bike running the TRP derailler with an XO1 shifter.

Spy Shot: TRP MTB 1x12 rear derailleur and shifter look closer to production
If you’ve been following along on social media and other sites, you probably know by now that TRP looks to be entering the world of derailleurs and shifters sometime soon. Aaron Gwin has been spotted testing various versions of a short cage derailleur for DH, and at Sea Otter this year, there...

that would be sweet.

Review: TRP's New TR12 Shifter and Derailleur - Pinkbike
TRP expands their drivetrain lineup with a 12-speed shifter and derailleur.
I've been browsing, looking for reviews, but so far everyone except PB and Bike has the same product brochure. Seems like nobody but them got riding time.

And gotta say I like Bike's review a lot more than the PB one.

I looked at alternative options for my commuter bike but found that a discounted SRAM or shimano setup was dramatically cheaper than any of the "budget" options. I paid $90 for a SRAM NX derailleur and GX Fr/rr shifters. A TRP or Suntour setup would have cost the same. Why bother?
Heard lots of bellyaching over the shift quality and finickiness of the setup you just mention. Still running 9spd which has been flawless. No personal experience.
mountain bikers: bitches that there aren't enough drivetrain options

No.
What I'm saying is that if you release a new drivetrain, it had better be dramatically lighter, dramatically cheaper, or shift significantly better. It sounds like the trp option is none of these, it's just different, inherently risky as the company is new, and gold.
Don't care, this setup brand new is the same cost or less than a used 10 or 9 speed setup, which is totally ducked up. I'd much rather have new stuff than decade old junk, but that's the price lx from 2003 commandsHeard lots of bellyaching over the shift quality and finickiness of the setup you just mention.

I respect your dedication dump, old XO stuff? That stuff was cool.Still running 9spd which has been flawless. No personal experience.
saving these quotes for the next time you post a thread asking why you can't get 3 different generations of incompatible boutique components to work together because you don't wanna spend an extra ten dollars
last season i made the jump from older x9 9speed to XT 11 speed. the old 9 speed was nice enough, but after making the switch i kinda wish i had sooner. the 4 up / 2 down shifting on shimano stuff is a lot nicer than i thought,
I was always X.0 shifters, X.9 rear derailleur and XT cassette and chain for my 9 speed setup.
I finally moved my last bike off that sort of combo earlier this year.
We have endless discussions of what the best deal on a fucking bike, car, BBQ, taco, etc. is, but here you are willing to buy something not proven that provides no obvious advantage? In my parts the TRP derailleur/shifter costs 299 € MSRP, an XTR shifter/derailleur combo is 280 €, XT 135 €, SLX 90 €, all 12-speed.
But I am all up for that you buy one and tell us how good it is. If it offers something that makes the price seem justified I am all ears. And no, that Gwin co-developed it is not an argument. ;-)
it's called economies of scale. TRP is producing smaller quantities of product than either shimano or sram, and i don't foresee them getting much, if any, OEM business soon.
All it takes is a bigger hammer.
Wait until YT signs them in for the next season.
I thought the DH forum is just where people go to complain about non-DH bikes and components.
I don't really have authoritah to do anything, but I'd be OK with like two or three forums- bikes, non-bikes, non-bikes that people get angry over
Can we have a forum specifically for 12 speed DH bikes?
only if it's separated by east or west coast first.
Also by single vs dual crown.
Vital has a nice piece on this gruppo. They liked it overall, but had serious issues with lost chains

Your submissive platitudes to RM's Lizard overlords has been noted....2 extra loyalty points on your permanent record.
