Trial Magazine

TRRS 250cc

- Words: John Hulme and Nick Shield • Pictures: Trials Media

It is quite rare in the world of motorcycle trials to see new manufactur­ers emerge, but in the last few years, we have seen two names from Spain take us by surprise in TRRS and Vertigo. As we follow the roadmap out of the pandemic, motorcycle trials have emerged as strong as ever as a sports discipline to enjoy, and so has the sales of new machines. TRRS and the Vertigo, emerging pretty much around the same time in 2014/2015, are proving popular with the buying public. They are very much of a new generation of innovation with models that separate them from the other brands. Both offer two-stroke models but differ in two main areas. Vertigo offers Electronic Fuel Injection and TRRS a convention­al kick-start mechanism or the option of a touch-ofa-button electric start. We have had a quick spin on both of these aforementi­oned models in earlier copies of the magazine, and so it was now back to the very popular TRRS ONERR 250cc model for a quick spin. The 2021 model still uses the tried and tested carburetto­r with our test machine using the traditiona­l aluminium kick-start lever. A test rider from the very early days of the magazine, Nick Shield has ridden most of the makes and models that have been available to the buying public over the years. For those of you who supported us back in 2009, Nick was the guy who tested six different machines over the six days of the Scottish Six Days Trial, which included Scorpa, Beta, Gas Gas, Xispa, Sherco and Montesa — he has never forgiven me for this.
