The surprise of the season was the recent unveiling of Ossa's fuel injected TR-280i at the Milan show this past week. Kept under wraps until just recently, the motorcycle features work from some of the top trials engineering and riding talent in the world. The plan is to focus on testing the bike into next year then have it available to the public in the fall of 2010. Head of the testing team is past World Trials Champion, Marc Colomer, who has spent time developing a number of the trials bikes we ride today.

Every aspect of the bike is discussion worthy including its

• Upside down Marzocchi front forks
• Top forward air box
• Forward and low aluminum gas tank as part of the frame front downmember
• Rearward facing cylinder (a'la the 2010 Yamaha YZ450F)
• Fuel indection
• Ohlins rear shock
• Exhaust midsection and muffler
