OSSA Introduced at Milan Show

OSSA has released studio shots of its latest creation... and it is indeed impressive. Like the newly revamped Sherco, the TR280i OSSA is fuel injected. And like the Sherco, the OSSA has repositioned its fuel tank, radiator and breather box. The fuel tank on the OSSA is positioned down the front of the frame where the radiator normally sits, while the air box, fuel injector and radiator sit just behind, protected from the elements. Like the new Yamaha YZ450R, the OSSA has repositioned the cyclinder so that the exhaust exits the to the rear. The cyclinder is also slanted to the rear, giving the fuel injection a more direct route to the compustion chamber. According to OSSA, the new bike is projected to be the lightest on the market.
