The world’s largest tyre manufacturer Bridgestone have entered into an adventurous tyre supply deal with the hugely popular Trail & Off-Road Events centre in Wiltshire after a glowing recommendation of their road legal, FIM Approved Gritty enduro tyres.
Based in Melksham, the off-road experience day centre will be using Bridgestone’s Gritty tyres on their fleet of ten Honda CRF250L student bikes, along with two CRF450XRL instructor motorcycles.
On a routine visit to his local dealer, Trail & Off-Road Events director Martin Chappell asked about finding a durable, high-performance enduro tyre to meet the needs of the centre, who were looking to switch brands, and the Bridgestone soon became their tyre of choice.
Trail & Off-Road Events are a leading provider of tuition and experiences in enduro and trail riding, offering training days, team building events, bike hire and race support for charity events such as Dawn to Dusk. Based close to the fantastic Salisbury Plain, they also run an annual Adventure Bike Festival and treasure hunt, which will be sponsored by the manufacturer.
Martin Chappell of Trail & Off-Road Events commented: “We needed a hard wearing, grippy enduro tyre and this is what the Bridgestone Gritty gives us. I’ve been absolutely impressed with the handling of the bikes since making the switch. With riders of all abilities coming to us for off-road experiences, it is critical to get a tyre that offers stability and reassurance. Suffice to say, we couldn’t be happier.”
Bridgestone’s business development manager Steve Watts said: “It is always nice to be recommended like this and to receive this kind of feedback. We are proud of our range of premium bike tyres and the levels of confidence they provide both on the road and out on tracks like those at Trail & Offroad.”
“We were only too happy to assist here and are proud to be associated with an exciting organisation like Trail & Offroad.”
As the main UK distributor for Bridgestone 2-wheel, the Bridgestone Gritty is available to the UK trade from Cambrian Tyres at the best possible price, along with the manufacturer’s comprehensive motocross range and exclusive trade-only tyre and tube deal.
