The 1960 Colleda 250TA Twin Ace had the sporty “jet-line” design. It was the first motorcycle ever to use combination brakes, even now standard in some motorcycle models. It was sold in the US and Europe and made during 1960 and 1961.It used a hydraulic rear brake and a link was attached to the brake pedal, making both the front and the rear brake to activate when pushing the pedal. A scooter styled lower fairing was optionally attached to the bike to protect the rider from moist and wind and the model had a dual seat, making it somewhat of a touring bike.
