Iwan Roberts signs for TRS

Steve Saunders (TRS UK Importer) and TRS Motorcycles are pleased to announce the signing of the current Trial2 World Champion Iwan Roberts. Iwan will compete in 2018 riding the TRRS 300RR.

Iwan has impressed in recent years with his progression through the ranks working hard to establish himself in the World Trials scene. This culminated in his success during 2017 when he won the Trial2 World Championship and saw him off the podium just the once all season.

Steve said of the signing
I am excited to be working with Iwan over the coming season and believe with a young up and coming rider such as Iwan we will see some exceptional rides.

I have watched Iwan grow in stature during the past few years and I am excited to see the pairing of Iwan and the TRS and believe we are looking at the possible winner of the British Trials Championship, along with some key events during the 2018 season.”

Iwan is equally positive about the forthcoming year,
“Riding the TRS in 2018 I will have the bike to match my belief that I can focus on the British Championshi
p and realise my dream to succeed in front of my home supporters which I have missed over the past season.”

Some of the events Iwan will ride in during 2018 are: British Championship, SSDT, Scott Trial as well as selected National and Trial GP world championship rounds.

You can see Iwan at his first outing on the TRS at the Sheffield Indoor Arena on 6th January 2018.

NEW FEATURES TRS ONE 2018 …

Optimization of the chamber to improve it´s performance thanks to the experience and tests developed on the Trial GP.

REVISED CRANKSHAFT TOLERANCES
The engine will work with an improved freedom, for both increased smoothness and power.

CRANKSHAFT BEARINGS TEFLON
Specific for motorcycles, provide better friction to crankshaft.

CDI CONNECTOR IMPROVED
Improved quality and external finishing on the connection area.

The new design improves the pedal operation incorporating a strong anodised finish

HOMOLOGATION EURO4

FRAME

FRAME IMPROVEMENTS
High level tests over many months to improve toughness and precision on certain areas of the frame.

R16V REAR SCHOCK ADJUSTEMENTS
The new setting offers a softer feel on compression and better control on rebound.

NEW FUEL TANK
Designed to increase strength and fuel capacity.

NEW PETROL TAP
New design for easier operation

REAR BRAKE PIPE GUIDE PLASTIC

FORGED FOOT REST SUPPORT
New design to increase strength and durability

NEW GRAPHICS
The new graphics keep the TRS One and it’s aluminum frame style, reaching at the same time a more racing look thanks to new graphics placed on the frame that also act as a frame protector.

REAR SPROCKET GUARD
Stronger and more flexible material

Marc Arañó (Commercial Director)
“The new ONE is the result of the huge and constant work by Jordi and his team at the races and at the R&D for more than a year, since first units of that ONE model came out from the production chain. We will keep the RR in catalogue until the month of December, and we will begin to deliver the first units of the new ONE that we are presenting now in July. I think many people – wait this evolution of the ONE considered by most of them more than enough for going TRIAL without the need of running a RR”.
Jordi Tarrés (I+D Director & Team Manager)
“The 2018 model, although apparently there are no major changes, has a big difference in its interior, where we are adjusting the tolerances and other fundamental parts of the engine. That is, they will appreciate general improvements in performance and also in the quality of the finishes of the motorbike.”
