The OMC (Officine Meccaniche Casalini) brand is launched. The parent company Casalini, which primarily produced tricycles (sulky), has decided to return to the sports two-wheeler market. Since the name "Casalini" is associated with slow, cabin scooter-like light vehicles, the dynamic abbreviation OMC is to be used to distinguish the new sporty enduro and trial models.
