The adventure began in the 250cc class with a double frame, aluminium alloy beam, coupled with a Marzocchi fork and a rear shock-absorber mounted on a pro lever suspension; the motor was a Rotax with horizontal cylinders.

The debut was made on 23 March at Kyalami, in South Africa, where Loris Reggiani took 17th place in the test run and 12th in the race.

As the championship continued the bike proved to be really good, so that Reggiani came in fourth at Mugello, third at Rijeka and at Imola.
