In 1929, they were still building the KSS Super Sport bike but concidered and tested the new Della Ferrera two-stroke 125 cc engine with dual exhaust but in 1930 opted for a new Jap engine with four-stroke, single cylinder 175 cc with side valves for the 175 Sport bike. In 1931 they presented the bike called the Saetta Azzurra. It came in two versions, a Touring and an Extra Luxury. The bikes used the Della Ferrera engine with four-stroke 175 cc valve head, Bosch magneto ignition (as tourism) and spinterogeno Bosch (deluxe version), Gurtner carburetor, front fork spring type shocks by Druid, in block chain driven three-speed transmission, brake expansion on both wheels, with speeds over 90 km/h. All models were kept in production until 1932 with improvements, expansion brakes on both wheels on all models. In the same year the Conti closed its doors.
