To all:

Leave it to the Spanish who made some of the fastest MXers back in the day. You all remember the Ossa Phantom! It was an Elsinore beater!

So they pulled out the all the stops and went future to the past tech on this one. From the one side it looks like a 2 Stroke top end. It's a side valve 4 stroke!

well sadly to say but this technology is going into their trial bikes not mx or enduro bikes gasgas still makes 2-strokes and this engine is to make a 4-stroke trial bike that has low weight due to less moving parts but still have a 4-stroke motor which all their trial bikes by the way are 2-stroke too
