and still has 145 compression ratio. &#8211; in other words, the new bikes are quality build &#8211; Also a good reason to buy a trials bike because they last a long time where-as most enduro\/MX style engines wear out rather quickly in comparison. &#8211; Using a good quality oil like Opti also helps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"526\" height=\"701\" src=\"https:\/\/outlawtrials.com\/davesblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/900-hrs-on-TRS.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13633\" srcset=\"https:\/\/outlawtrials.com\/davesblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/900-hrs-on-TRS.jpg 526w, https:\/\/outlawtrials.com\/davesblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/900-hrs-on-TRS-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 526px) 100vw, 526px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Below is the one off our TTRS 125 -removed when I took it back in trade. &#8211;

we put that first one on at East Kelowna, with a free Vintage on the Saturday, followed by the modern on Sunday. &#8211; The idea was for riders to dig out their old twin shocks and ride the long loop on Saturday, to check out the sections etc, while having a fun time. &#8211; Well as it turned out &#8211; the Saturday event not only proved to be very popular, but also very competitive!! &#8211; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/outlawtrials.com\/davesblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Outlaw-Poster.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13635\" srcset=\"https:\/\/outlawtrials.com\/davesblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Outlaw-Poster.jpg 400w, https:\/\/outlawtrials.com\/davesblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Outlaw-Poster-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>We built  a T- P Outlaw Pub &#8212;
