Über has the same meaning as About in this sentence. And zu could here be translated as To.
I tried to find out more about this product.

To learn more about "zu": check out "erweiterter Infinitiv / Infinitivsatz"
Actually, this sentence should have a comma, since it consists of two clauses: Ich habe versucht, mehr über das neue neue Produkt zu erfahren.

@marcel90 It doesn't have to. It's this "not necessary but possible" thing here. Because it's zu. But you're right for learners it's better to put a comma there so it's not too confusing

@heyduuuuu if über means about, what does erfahren in here means?

@Janeytu something like "find out". Er will es erfahren/ er will es herausfinden. -> he wants to find out.
