The Spanish motorcycle brand Bultaco is relaunching with a focus on internal combustion engines, moving away from the exclusively electric lineup introduced in 2014. The new entity, Bultaco Next S.L., is spearheading this resurgence through a partnership with Barcelona-based Leonart Motors. One major release is the TSS 350, a racing-oriented model inspired by the historic Model 29. Designed for circuits and museums, the TSS 350 features a 350cc two-stroke, air-cooled single-cylinder engine producing 60 CV. To maintain exclusivity, the company plans to produce a limited series of only 29 custom-built units, individually identified and manufactured to order. This track-only model includes modern upgrades such as a six-speed gearbox and programmable electronic ignition, while retaining a classic aesthetic with a steel tube frame, 18-inch wheels, and drum brakes. It weighs 103 kg dry and is intended for historic racing competitions. Additionally, the brand has announced the Rally GT 300, priced at 3,999 euros. Following the partnership with Leonart Motors, the 300 cc trail model underwent a 200-kilometer testing session in the Los Monegros region of Spain to evaluate performance across rocky, loose, and eroded terrains. ~~Testing focused on engine cooling, air filtration, transmission, brakes, suspension, and ergonomics.~~ Bultaco reported that the single-cylinder four-stroke engine provided “progressive power delivery” to assist traction on low-adhesion surfaces.

Despite high temperatures and demanding terrain, the units completed the expedition without mechanical breakdowns, experiencing only minor cosmetic or external damage such as bent levers or rim impacts.
