Scorpa

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Scorpa is a manufacturer of trials motorcycles based near Alès, France. It was founded in 1993 by Philippe Aresten and Joël Domergue. The first model produced by the company was the WORKS 294 in 1994, powered by a one-cylinder Rotax engine. In 1998 Scorpa signed an agreement with Yamaha Motor Company to use its engines in subsequent models.

Their current range includes trials bikes ranging from 125cc to 249cc, in both two and four stroke variants. They also produce a "long ride" model, which is mechanically similar to the SY trials range, but with a larger fuel tank, and a seat to allow longer trekking use. Recently they have begun production of their "4tricks" bike, which is based on the design of a bicycle, but with a small four stroke engine, and has been designed for use on BMX ramps and jumps. It is similar in appearance to a BMX bike.
