(Frame no: VNBS129TR6A018036) and a 2011 Sherco 290 (Frame no: VNBS129TR9A023409).

<p><strong>The off-road world today got its first look at the long awaited new Jotagas trials and enduro machines developed by the legendary Jordi Tarres, unveiled at the EICMA Show, Milan.</strong></p>
<p>The new Spanish company, also known as JTG, revealed five two-stroke models; the JT250, 280 and 300 trials machines and MK 250 and 300 Enduro bikes.</p>
<p>The new machines will be imported into the UK by ten time British Trials Champion<strong>Steve Saunders</strong> who has set up Jotagas UK. The exciting new models will be part of a range of new Spanish Trials and Enduro machines developed by seven time World Trial Champion <strong>Jordi Tarres</strong> and Enduro star <strong>Miki Arpa</strong>.</p>
<p>The new models feature class leading components, low weight characteristics (65 and 100kg for the trials and enduro machines respectively) and a unique rear suspension system.</p>
<p>Based at a ‘state of the art’ Jotagas factory at the MotoGP circuit of Motorland Aragon, the new models have been developed at the extensive trials, motocross, enduro and supermotard tracks at the facility.</p>
<p><strong>Saunders</strong> commented, <em>“It’s fantastic to see the new Jotagas models and watch the press and public attention at EICMA today. The bikes look fantastic and no stone has been left unturned in the quest for the most advanced and durable components.</em></p>
<p><em>We can’t wait to get the first machines to the UK and start getting riders out on them for their first reactions!”</em></p>
