Our New Titan 75 Link

January 2020

​

The intention of RUD developing the Titan 75 link was to react to the changed

operating conditions due to the fact of longer driving distances also to celebrate

RUD's 75th year annevisary.

 

The Titan is designed to have less breakages on the running surface of the

tyre protection chain due to the added material on the side's of the link.

​

The Titan link has a height off 77mm and is available in 23mm rings. The width of the

link on the contact area has increased by 20% which contributes to the traction and

protection of the tyre protection chain. 

 

The firts fitment of the Titan 75 tyre protection chain will take place in March 2020.
