heffergm Posted February 21, 2016 Report Share Posted February 21, 2016 Apparently the first ones coming to my area of the US are already sold, so some folks are willing to chance it. From what I can see in pics and whatnot it looks well engineered. Is it as solid as a Beta? That's where I'm plunking down my money if I don't take a chance with the trs. There's a lot I like the look of though, although the delorto is a mystery to me. Anyone ridden a 250 yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwb5151 Posted February 21, 2016 Report Share Posted February 21, 2016 In northern Ireland they where supposed to arrive mid February but its been put back to March. I've already booked a test ride on a 300 which will be interesting if they arrive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
htrdoug Posted February 21, 2016 Report Share Posted February 21, 2016 Dellorto carbs are no problem to get dialed in,all sorts of jetting is readily available. Dellorto direct in usa can get most anything,or the Dellorto place in UK. Where in USA are you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heffergm Posted February 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2016 New England. Not really worried about parts, I just got the impression (perhaps incorrectly) that the keihin in generally preferred, and it just happens to be what I'm familiar with.

gasgas249uk Posted February 22, 2016 Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 I prefer the feel of a dellorto . Keihin are a little too good for me and are too instant ie not ideal for clubmen in my opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imexian Posted February 22, 2016 Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 Saw the TRS at telford show, seems better in the flesh than pics show, pics seem bit bland and very staid, but when you see it seems well made and thought out. I was quiet impressed with it. I think it will shift pretty well. All depends on early reliability I guess? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cascao Posted March 7, 2016 Report Share Posted March 7, 2016 It's TRS one but it's Tarrés three... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve fracy Posted March 8, 2016 Report Share Posted March 8, 2016 I have just been fortunate enough to spend an entire day riding the new TRS One. The only bike so far here in Canada. I have ridden all kinds of bikes and my last bike was a GG Racing 300. I hope I can bring an objective review of what I saw and felt riding it. First off, the build quality is exceptional. Lots of little things make me think that a RIDER had a lot to do with the design ( Thank you Jordi). The feel to ride the bike is that its very light. The riding position is absolutely perfect. I am 6ft tall and cant remember the last bike I had that I felt so perfect on..... The center of gravity seems very low and I found the bike very easy to balance and to move the rear wheel around. As far as the overall handling of the bike, it was so good and made me feel confident, and tracked so well and incredibly stable. I attribute this to the aluminum frame and rear suspension linkage design. I am a big fan of aluminum framed bikes and this tiny rigid frame I love. The clutch feel is very good and by far the best clutch I have ever had on any bike I have ridden. Beta, Sherco, GG. I don't know what they have done with the brakes as they look to be standard, but they are incredibly strong, and this was noticed by everyone who rode it. Everything just seems to be in the right position and very comfortable to ride. It grips incredibly well. The transmission is for me a lot better than the GG in the way it shifts. NO big crunch going into fourth gear, and it shifts with a definite and nice clicking motion. The ratios are absolutely perfect, and I was skeptical about the 5 speed as I am not a fan from riding Shercos. The TRS ratios are perfect, with 1st through 4th all evenly spaced and usable in sections, with 5th being your road gear/ Overall the feel of the bike was familiar but even better than I had expected. I loved it and cant wait to get mine 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hugh_b Posted July 2, 2016 Report Share Posted July 2, 2016 (edited) Foolishly sold my 16" Sherco 300 last week as i'm about to move house and thought we needed the money so was sacrificing my bike for a while to fund house stuff! Found out shortly after that we wouldn't need the money, slightly annoying as I let the Sherco go for a good price. Anyway, missing it already I decided a change was in order as i've had a Sherco since 2013 so I collected a new TRS 300 today from BVM, top guys to deal with and waited out of hours for me as it was a fairly long drive. Got to say, they look lovely in the flesh with some really nice touches, seems to be set up really well from the off. Hoping to run it in during the week so i'll see how it goes but going to adjust a few bits and remove the rear light etc tomorrow.

tahoebrian5 Posted August 22, 2016 Report Share Posted August 22, 2016 Is there any updated feedback on the TRS models? They are definitely a prominent option in my bike shopping adventure at the moment. How do people feel about the Olle shock? Seems most of the upscale competition has reiger or ohlins. Are the pros riding for TRS using the stock Olle shock? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heffergm Posted August 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2016 You can now get a TRS with a Reiger... for an additional $1000.00. I think the Olle is fine for most people, but the reality is that people want purple shocks. There's also a Keihin kit, although I don't think it's a factory option yet. I suspect the TRS will come standard with the Reiger and Keihin after 2017. Anyway, neither of these things were on my mind when I was considering the TRS, I just found that the steering geometry wasn't really what I like. It feels very upright, sort of Beta-ish I guess. But the bike is really well put together and designed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tahoebrian5 Posted August 22, 2016 Report Share Posted August 22, 2016 Thanks for the info. Adding 1k to the price and it's getting close to the vertigo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heffergm Posted August 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2016 Yeah, although the vertigo I have different issues with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tahoebrian5 Posted August 23, 2016 Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 Everyone has issues it seems. I'm a sucker for high tech so the vertigo is appealing in that aspect, but that price tag is less than attractive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
