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.
