New Ossa

NEW OSSA EXPLORER

The spirit of the old model from the seventies returns renovated with the latest design and technology

An extremely comfortable bike to enjoy excursions in the mountain

In response to the wishes of motorcycling enthusiasts, Ossa launches an extraordinary model: the new Ossa Explorer 2012. Inheriting the spirit of the legendary Explorer presented in Paris in 1972, the new bike from Ossa maintains its philosophy: A comfortable and very light bike, easy to ride and designed to enjoy both the mountain and the city.

The designers from Ossa approve the new model, which will be in production in Girona as from February. This model will take advantage of the innovative features of the TR280i, such as the two-stroke injection engine and the chassis. A style of bike that is not found in the market; a combination of a Trials and an Enduro bike. It has a bigger seat and offers fun, safety and comfort, together with amazing handling sensations and inexpensive maintenance. With its ISS Injection Start System, it uses a lithium battery to allow for a precise and easy kick start.

For sale in Spring

The motorbike is scheduled to be distributed in Europe as from March, and in a second phase, Worldwide.

Entirely made in the Ossa Factory in Girona, the new Explorer brings high technology to a new concept of bike “We know the Explorer is an eagerly awaited bike among Ossa and motorcycling enthusiasts. Apart from a clear tribute to the history of the brand, with this bike we wanted to integrate a high level of technology in this model. Consequently we maintain the philosophy of a bike prepared for two riders, but technologically and aesthetically, it is on a whole new level. This is our proposal for those who want to have fun, enjoy the mountain, those who love trials and enduro but also feel like going for a comfortable ride”, says Joan Gurt, Director of Ossa Factory.

OSSA launches new bikes

The new Explorer from Ossa will be in the EICMA Show, which will take place in Milan from the 8^th to the 13^th of November.

Ossa will also use the event to present their new Enduro model. These novelties represent a new stage for the brand of the shamrock, which invested private funds to produce these models.
