Jordi Tarres Set To Launch TRS Trials Bike

Barcelona is set to become home to yet another new brand of Trials bike with Jordi Tarres announcing he is to be part of the all-new TRS brand.

TRS Motorcycles, whose main activity will consist of the design, manufacture and global marketing under the trade name of TRS Trial bike, has developed a business plan which provides in a first phase a three-year view with a projected a turnover of 6,000,000 EURO with a staff comprising of fifteen people, and in the planned second phase which takes the brand up to six years, a range of new models of motorcycles within the off-road sector.

TRS is born from the initiative and the momentum of its four partners, Jordi Tarrés, former seven times world Trial Champion, and better known more recently as the man behind the now established Jotagas brand, Ricardo Novel, a Bercelona entrepreneur whose current involvement with seven companies revolves around logistics, spare parts and other processes of industry in relation to the automotive world. Also involved in the project is Marc Arañó, an individual with solid experience in the two-wheel sector with history at such companies such as Derbi (Piaggio Group), Gas Gas motorcycles and Jotagas. The final member of the management team is Josep Borrell, a Barcelona businessman who manages several investment funds and whose passion for motorbikes led him to invest personally in the past years in companies such as Gas Gas and JTG.

TRS was formed in 2013 and has planned to start production of its first model in 3 displacements (250, 280 and 300 cc) in late 2014 and the development of new displacements during 2015.

TRS will have their production facilities in the province of Barcelona, from where they will also manage departments of I + D + I, while a sporting level foresees progressive participation that will be linked to the consolidation of the business.

Jordi Tarrés: “Our goal is to have a good bike and our priority is to ensure a good service; We have consolidated a good team that I trust fully and with which I feel very much at home. We have assembled everything you need to make TRS a benchmark and a company in which the market can place trust and confidence both short, as medium and long term.”
