telecat Posted November 14, 2015 Report Share Posted November 14, 2015 Looking at the NILS partnership announcement I don't think we will see a "production" TRS until January. I believe a few of the test riders made observations that Jordi took onboard and decided a design change was needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigel dabster Posted November 14, 2015 Report Share Posted November 14, 2015 Because it is not communicated (yet)? No i meant why does no one at the factory know yet. Clearly if there was not one bike at the dbs and there are no semi production bikes with importers riders as tasters/promo then peeps cant say "i'll wait for that it looks good and sounds great and goes well". but nada.

baldilocks Posted November 14, 2015 Report Share Posted November 14, 2015 Id rather it was right first time even if its late. A new bike that comes out but isn't ready doesn't help anyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
telecat Posted November 14, 2015 Report Share Posted November 14, 2015 Just received an Email From Steve Saunders. TRS will be taking the first production bikes to EICMA with test rides looking to start in December. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gasgas249uk Posted January 11, 2016 Report Share Posted January 11, 2016 (edited) Great news to get the marque in the headlines , but the plan was ,as i was told by boss to send 3 prototypes out to the corners of the earth (Inc UK) , test them , obtain feedback , modify over a few months and then start production. Given that the proto deliveries have not happened and that production is infinitely harder than making a few bikes to test and that the UK importers above delivery date has past I suspect we are in for a long wait before we see any bikes to buy. Either A - they will continue as planned above Or B - they will skip sending the 3 bikes out for local evaluation My guess , is B. The financier will want income , despite any reassurances we might hear .... This will be the case. The importers will also be wanting the sales. Production is the hardest part , because suppliers have other customers and small orders won't go to the top of the pile. Then ... as soon as they arrive they'll need more and the wait starts again. The gathering of perfect quality controlled components is very hard. 50% of some products are returned. Just that one item is stopping production and imagine problems with many many parts. It's a nightmare. The Jotagas boss (ex GG boss) rolls his eyes with dismay and regards production as very hard and he's been doing it since 1980. If you have enough staff (cash) then you can employ staff to order and chase ... but if the factory manager is also responsible for stock ordering and chasing ... it all grinds to a halt and you become abundantly aware of the size of the task. Trs will be dalm good bikes and they will get bikes here to sell, but this is why there are delays .

nigel dabster Posted January 12, 2016 Report Share Posted January 12, 2016 Delays are fine but non communication isnt good, just fuels speculation. With the impending arrival of a very similar bike, Gas Gas (excepting frame) they need to sort something soon? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gasgas249uk Posted January 12, 2016 Report Share Posted January 12, 2016 I know the situation and have said it. The importer does as well, because the bikes are not here. It's the elephant in the room. Everyone in business likes to keep things upbeat and talk of Delays isn't that. I think this is most of the reason ... but there is more There should be press releases once a month. People would be happy with that .That's what is normal. People would know what's happening . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trialsrfun Posted January 12, 2016 Report Share Posted January 12, 2016 Will TRS, JGas and GasGas share a common engine then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gasgas249uk Posted January 13, 2016 Report Share Posted January 13, 2016 Steve . I think I've made it very clear. "I've been told" "guess""I suspect". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trialsrfun Posted January 13, 2016 Report Share Posted January 13, 2016 Is the engine as in the JGas (it looks very similar) or a different unit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
