The Mythical Spanish brand has received an investment of six million euros and are back into production. They have launched a trial bike and they've already sold all the production.

The new factory at Girona has 100 workers.
 
Very nice.. especially in these economic times.

Interesting technology:

Sweet! I hated to see OSSA (and a few other era OEM's) die out. These are obviously tough times for motorsports, but with a modern facility offering a quality niche product they may gather the traction to pull it off. I wish them all the best.

Indeed, it does look a bit ... ossatic (barebones) ... only the strict minimum made it through design, eh? B)
 
If you've seen some of the insane places they run Observed Trials events these days, you would understand why the minimalist approach. The bikes have to be as light as possible, and of course, there is no need for seat on trials bike.
 
sure, it just struck me how appropriate the name is!
 
Very nice, glad to see then making a come back. I'd like to see them produce a road ready replica of one of their models from the 70's, perhaps the Pioneer.

I owned a new 1970 Ossa Pioneer for about two years. I've owned dozens of bikes in the 45+ years of riding and that Pioneer was the only one ever stolen, someone else also had good taste in enduro motorcycles. That bike took a lick'n and kept on tick'n, it always got me home after some very tough rides through the Catskil mountains of NY. On more then one occassion it needed a little help of duct tape and bailing wire..... but it always got me home. Can't say the same for my friends on their B'taco's!!

Damn that was a great bike.....

Thanks for listening.. :D

Regards, Paul
 
Never owned an Ossa but had a friend with a Stilletto. Sweetest bike of all. I loved that bike. Never could afford one. Ossa was always known as extreme high quality. Hope they continue.
