He helped them develop a 250cc dirt bike. One of the key figures in the intentional success of OSSA was their rider who was known as Dick Mann. So, in order to further conquer the international markets, OSSA decide to compete internationally as well. Domestically, OSSA competed with many other Spanish giants in the Domain and came out victorious. Of such sports, you could name Enduro, motocross, road racings and observed trials as well. The Ossa Company happens to have been a great supporter of almost, if not all sports that involved motorcycles. One added advantage this bike had in the United States as well as Canada was the fact the bike was quite powerful but relatively light, thus making it adapted for motocross, which was a sport that was gradually gaining grounds in this part of the country. Ossa reached its peak of motorcycle production around the 60s, where it saw itself conquering markets such as those of America and many other European countries. This may sound absurd to change from producing projectors to producing motorcycles but it should be noted that many other giants in the motorcycle industry also followed quite a similar path such as the Yamaha, Harley Davidson and BSA.

After this war, came the moment for the OSSA company to start back production but this time around they decided to tweak things a little bit and rather went in for the production of two wheeled engines. With the advent of the Second World War, most of its activities were put on hold.

The company which originally bore the name OSSA was a company that was founded in Spain in the year 1924 and its speciality was the production of movie projectors, with its target population or better still its market being centered in Spain.
