a drop bar groupset that disrupts tradition

VISTAR eliminates the front derailleur without giving up a single gear.
1x drivetrain with the performance benefits of a 2x system

Wireless shifting for ROAD and GRAVEL, built with TRP hydraulic brakes and the Classified Powershift hub.
The front derailleur is the weakest link in road and gravel cycling. Vistar eliminates it without giving up a single gear.
The VISTAR development project would not have succeeded without the vision and drive to develop a groupset that could redefine road and gravel cycling. As a result of our research, we identified ways to improve upon traditional 2x drivetrains. We sought to eliminate the fragility of front derailleurs and the unreliability of front shifting. Our primary belief was that a better solution could be conceived and that we were the right development team to bring that solution into existence.

TRP + Classified
The demands of road cycling are clearly different than those of mountain biking, where wide-ratio, 1x12 gearing matches the abrupt and varied changes typical of off-road terrain. We needed a way to maintain small steps between gears to allow riders to maximize efficiency while matching the progressive and dynamic power output characteristic of road, gravel, and other types of endurance cycling.
TRP connected with Classified Cycling, an innovative startup company based in Antwerp, Belgium, with what we recognized as the ideal complementary technology. Their internally geared 2-speed hub was the last ingredient to allow the VISTAR groupset to maintain a full range of gearing suitable for endurance cycling. The final result is a drop bar groupset built around 1x architecture utilizing the latest wireless shifting protocols, class-leading hydraulic disc brakes, advanced composite and alloy materials, and an internally geared 2-speed hub to maintain proper gear ratios for endurance cycling.
Vistar injects fresh energy into the groupset market, impressing with crisp shifting, seamless integration of the Classified hub and superb braking performance, clearly benefiting from TRP’s long-standing MTB expertise
The TRP Vistar groupset marks a big step forward for both TRP and Classified’s Powershift technology. By building a drivetrain specifically around the innovative Classified hub, TRP delivers a system that feels integrated and purpose-built. What’s more, the TRP drivetrain is good enough to stand on its own with a precise rear derailleur, best-in-class brakes, and fantastic ergonomics that make it a joy to ride.
After 700 miles testing the TRP Vistar groupset, this system is a leap forward even with some drawbacks.
"This groupset gives me so much confidence through the variety of gravel roads and trails i ride. i absolutely love it"

Connection that Counts
The TRP CMD, or "Command" system, eliminates the need for conventional cables and housing, enhancing both the visual clarity and aerodynamic efficiency of the bicycle. Riders can modify shifting behaviors, adjust derailleur trim, customize component names, and monitor battery status with ease.

Quantum Shift
QuantumShift utilizes the rear derailleur, cassette, and Powershift hub to create 16 unique gears (15 gears for gravel), all controlled with a single hand on the shifter. This technology eliminates concerns about chainline and inappropriate shifting behavior, ensuring a seamless and enjoyable cycling experience.
