Many drivers don’t have their wiper blades replaced as part of their regular vehicle service. In fact, many drivers don’t give much thought to their wiper blades at all until they need them. It is not uncommon to see drivers parked on the side of the road during a downpour when they have just realised that their wipers are not up to the task. Australia has extreme UV levels in the summer months and rubber on the blades can deteriorate, dry out and crack and become brittle. Coming into winter, it is essential to check the condition of wiper blades on every vehicle regardless of service history or age.
The TRICO® Force™ beam blade has been engineered with a flexible structure, allowing the blade to conform to different windscreen surface curvatures with maximum water clearance. With a robust superstructure for durable, all-weather performance, the swept-wing spoiler slices through turbulence caused by cross winds to deliver a clearer wipe and excellent visibility in all driving situations and provide outstanding wind lift performance up to 240kp/h.
TRICO® Force™ features the patented VorTec® aerofoil that controls airflow and transfers wind force downward to provide maximum contact between the wiper blade and windshield, particularly important for modern high curvature windscreens.
As previously mentioned, one of the key contributing factors of early failure in a wiper system in Australia is prolonged excessive UV exposure. The TRICO® Force blade has been created with a tough wearing, single piece vertebra. This vertebra supports an all-natural, premium quality rubber insert that has been treated with enhanced UV protection and a graphite coating. The exclusive HighGlide™ element withstands harsh UV radiation to provide superb durability and the smoothest, quietest wipe.
Consistent with Trico’s commitment to quality, the TRICO® Force™ blades are tested for over 1.5 million cycles which is three times longer than OE requirements.
The precision cut, UV treated rubber wiping edge removes the smallest droplets providing drivers with clear vision and added safety for long lasting performance.
The advantages of beam blades over conventional blades are numerous. Beam blades provide improve performance due to their sleek, modern styling and advanced visibility protection. A clearer wipe is achieved as the infinite pressure points offer uniform contact and the aerodynamic design means less wind lift. There are no corrosion points so they provide all-weather performance. Beam blades provide maximum performance and durability.
