Engine
Two-stroke single cylinder with one-piece crankcase and change removable cassette, the engine of the new 250 Enduro Ossa has a revolutionary dual injection system developed in collaboration with the signing Kokusan and electronic exhaust valve assisted by the the injection ECU itself. One injector is located in the crankcase and the other in the chamber of the cylinder, which is unusual because usually is usually placed in the butt. This totally new system allows a long series of combinations in the set-up and management in the character of this revolutionary Enduro Ossa 250i/300i. Its electric starter is very innovative because of its simplicity and notable for the absence of gears, which contributes to the lightness and simplicity of a set that will be below 100 kg. of weight.

"why? because we can."
i'm a bit skeptical of sweaty balls, melted boots, and an over inflated price.

Like it. They are trying something new, significantly new.

[gregp]

That right side swingarm/linkage connection is interesting. The left side looks conventional. I also like their "Explorer" version.

[typeone]

right, i'm just pumped to see 2-stroke development back in the news everywhere. low weight, low CG, electric leg, direct inject, low noise, etc., etc. all good stuffs

EDIT: i wish they had pics of the one-piece crankcase w/removable cassette, that sounds really interesting. like Chip, i'm also curious about heat from the expansion chamber location but i bet it's a non issue. cant wait to hear ride reports, that fuel tank is LOW, must change the handling/feel a lot.

a guy over on my Husky forum already put a deposit on one. i'll let you know what he says about the expected MSRP.

Could that skid guard have a less sharp angle of attack? Seems like it would hit hard against a rock... Otherwise I'd LOVE to try that thing out. I'm assuming it's a 125?

Edit: Duh, 250. Engine looks TINY

[Paul_E_D]

btw, that translation is epic. The injector usually placed in the butt??? What kind of bikes are we talking about...??

[Chippertheripper]

Gay ones Paul.

Yeah clinton, It definitely is test ride worthy.

[typeone]

you know, injector in the butt, Spaniards are spicy like that

yeah, 250 + 300cc. i thought the same thing on the front part of the frame. no pipe to mash but looks like it would stop you cold.
