hgas Posted November 24, 2021 Report Share Posted November 24, 2021 Jitsie are advertising big news coming on the 1/12/2021 I wonder if they’re going to unveil their own trials machine? I always wondered why no one bought all the tooling for the ossa bikes when they folded with gas gas ,they’d still be a good machine now with abit of an update .especially when the likes jotagas can still keep going Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NAD1 Posted November 24, 2021 Report Share Posted November 24, 2021 you can be pretty sure it wont be a trials machine. The Ossa tooling and tech would probably be property of KTM Gas Gas now I'd imagine. I know Mecatecno bought a lot of the Ossa bits - frames etc etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intotrials Posted November 25, 2021 Report Share Posted November 25, 2021 I'd be surprised if they chose to build trials bikes, I don't see there is any room in the market place for another brand starting out. If so it would have to be something very radical. But you never know! Interestingly I have heard rumours that KTM off road will be phased out and their off road section will be focused on the current brands Huskies & Gassers. Which would mean there would not be a "KTM" branded trials bike but will remain as Gas Gas. Would be nice if they updated the current gas gas trials bike though. I have owed gas gas's since the first water-cooled version back in the early 90's. I have a 2021 300 one now that is still a great bike but I feel is now a little dated and could do with some improvements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nhuskys Posted November 25, 2021 Report Share Posted November 25, 2021 Craig Talbot did a Podcast interview with Jan Cardinaels the owner of Jitsie a few years ago. He said they had the capability build a bike, but chose not too. With the present supply chain issues.... hard to imagine a new bike brand trying to start?

PakJeem Posted November 26, 2021 Report Share Posted November 26, 2021 I highly doubt KTM would drop the KTM brand from their off-road lineup. It’s their flagship “ready to race” brand. And it’s done phenomenally well for the past 20 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
