fordigas Posted February 6, 2020 Report Share Posted February 6, 2020 Quick question, are OSSA still trading? Havnt seen anything on recent videos on youtube from anyone. Obviously there are no OSSA riders in X Trials but also dont see any at amature level videos either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

faussy Posted February 6, 2020 Report Share Posted February 6, 2020 (edited) The last time i heard them mentioned in 2014, they had merged with GG who subsequently folded. Maybe try calling KTM and asking ? Edited February 6, 2020 by faussy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Bob Posted February 20, 2020 Report Share Posted February 20, 2020 Is this the old Ossa like I had in 1970? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lotus54 Posted June 11, 2020 Report Share Posted June 11, 2020 My understanding is they didn’t really merge with GasGas, but they did have a production and parts distribution agreement. So when GasGas went under, they no longer had a factory or warehouse. Of course, the story I was told is the whole reason to do this agreement was to save money, secure more loans and both companies to keep afloat. So I assume OSSA was barely afloat anyway. I have communicated withe the ‘owner’ that has claimed several times to ‘be ready for production soon’- of course that didn’t happen. I did see they were making bicycles, but I do not know what has happened with that. personally, I’m disappointed it could not keep producing bikes. I found them to be excellent (a bit of teething issues at first). For my use, I would have liked a little more robust suspension linkage setup and a better ‘easy start’. Interestingly, the 2012 Explorer I have in my shop right now has a little battery- so fuel pump runs when the key is turned on. Makes it easier to start I think (like my ‘super easy start’ setup). But indeed- they have not produced bikes since the 2015 model as far as I’ve been able to determine. And no, not at all like the 1970 model, in name and place of construction only.
