TRICO triumphs in Auto Express review

Four out of five stars for beam blade kit

TRICO triumphs in Auto Express review

A new product, the beam blade kit, from original equipment (OE) wiper blade manufacturer, TRICO, has been put to the test by the products team at Auto Express.

Packaged in an eco-friendly carton box, the range is comprised of just 95 references – 73 direct fit kits for OE beam blade applications, and 22 ‘retrofit’ kits for hybrid and upgrade applications – and caters for more than 95 per cent of the beam blade vehicle parc.

Due to TRICO’s ‘superkit’ design that comes with an optional alternative connector, this is over 40 per cent less stock than competitor ranges, which often require in excess of 150 SKU’s to attain the same coverage.

The new kits contain two of TRICO’s ‘X1’ design blades manufactured and packaged in Europe.

TRICO supplies this same blade as OE to VAG, for a multitude of vehicles including VW ID4, Golf VIII, T-Roc, Audi Q4, Q5, Q7, TT, Škoda Citigo, Kodiaq, Superb, Seat Ibiza, Leon, Rapid and Mi.

Putting the new range through a wipers ‘mini test’ ahead of their annual product awards, Auto Express stated that the blades were “simple to install, with the clips already attached” and that the wiping performance in heavy rain was excellent, ultimately awarding the product four stars.

First Brand’s group brand and marketing manager (Europe), Sam Robinson, said: “We’re thrilled with the feedback from Auto Express.

“We know that our products are premium quality and as they’re OE for many renowned vehicle manufacturers, you can rely on replacing like for like with our blades.”

Have your say!
