Steve Saunders is pleased to announce that with immediate effect he will be the UK distributor for the new to the market TRS brand of trials machines and will operate under the name of TRS Motorcycles UK.
Well respected in the trials world with his SXS trials schools, Steve also offers experience days for those new to the sport as well as accessory and workshop facilities. He is Team manager and mentor to Ross Danby and Becky Cook who are both currently riding on the British and World circuit respectively.
As a 10 time British Champion, factory rider of many marques and runner up of the 1986 World Trials Championship, Steve gave his thoughts on the new venture ..
"I'm extremely pleased to be working with Jordi Tarres and Marc Arano following our earlier successful collaboration, Jordi's continual strive for innovation in the development of the trials machine has always impressed me along with his fine attention to detail.”
“Having been consulted throughout the design phase of the project and taking factory visits with Jordi and Marc to discuss progression, I am delighted with the outcome. It is a visually stunning machine, produced to exacting standards that will initially be offered in 250, 280 and 300cc engine sizes. This will give riders the choice to select a machine that will perform at all levels of the sport including the premier classes; the brand offers a good mix of looks, mechanical ability and reliability that is vital in this modern era of trials.”
Steve goes on to explain, " Any new venture requires core financial stability and this is foremost in the TRS company vision; they have independent business interests already generating large turnover and profit which affords them to invest and develop the TRS brand. Amongst their portfolio is a large motor industry logistics company along with the revamped motorcycle accessories and clothing brand Hebo that will be familiar to enthusiasts. This business model will offer potential purchasers the confidence to buy into a brand that is aimed at giving long-term stability and support to customers as well as competition success."
The commitment to the trials and motorsport world shown by the continued interests of Steve, Jordi and Marc along with the input from other proven international trials figures will undoubtedly make the future of the TRS bike a success in the sport. Having over 50 years combined experience in top level trials riding and development expertise alongside secure organizational and financial backing will enable TRS to launch the new bike and establish this brand as a leader in the market place.
