Gritzner obtained the rights to the Mars Monza, building these until the 1970s.

Unlike the many other lightweights in this period, the Monza Super Sport was built as a true motorcycle. It did not have the bicycle-style pedals fitted to most machines of this capacity. The three-speed gearbox was foot-operated rather than the twist grip type used on other motorcycles.
