Italy’s Mondial is a prestigious team that played an important role in the 125 class during the early days of the World Championship Road Race, the ancestor of MotoGP. At that time, I was only making racing machines, but after more than half a century, I made a big comeback with a public road model! The full-size 125, which is so magnificent that the name “moped” is unsuitable, is likely to have a great impact on the future of the moped sports world.
Too cool sports moped “Mondial” landed in Japan
Full-size 125 sports are hot with the participation of the Italian prestigious race!
Mondial has been sold domestically since 2018 by FB Mondial Japan. This is the first time it has been open to the public at a motorcycle show. Mondial was founded in 1948, shortly after World War II, and is a prestigious Italian champion who made an outstanding performance in the 125.250 class of the world championship race. The company broke up in 1979, but revived brilliantly with the announcement of the HPS125 at the 2015 EICMA (Milan Show).
And in 2019, the sports classic Pagani will be added to the lineup, and a flat track will also appear. Both are full size and have a scale and power that you can’t think of as two types of mopeds. The price of a head-to-head competition with domestic sports such as CBR125R and GSX-R125 is also a big attraction. Also, for HPS and Pagani, the “300”, a Japanese limited model equipped with a 249cc engine in the same chassis as the 125, is also a must-see.
Scrambler-style neo-classical HPS 125/300
Hipsters on the side cover represent “connoisseurs” or “new lovers”, and as the name suggests, HPS wears a new style of retro and modern weaving.The exhibited vehicle is HPS 300, but the specifications of 125 are almost the same except for the engine.
The contrast between the classical headlights that look like jujube upside down and the 40mm diameter inverted fork is new.The front wheels are 18 inches and the rear wheels are 19 inches, and the rear view is modern.
The front wheels are 18 inches and the rear wheels are 19 inches, and the rear view is modern.
The DOHC 4-valve water-cooled single-cylinder engine is 125 made by Aprilia and is compatible with Euro 5. The HPS300 has a car name of 300 but a displacement of 249cc, which is limited to Japan.This is made by ZONGSHEN in China, which has a remarkable breakthrough and is highly reliable, and is equipped with Euro 4 specifications.
Two short silencers create a retro atmosphere
The handlebar is wide and flat. The HPS300 is equipped with a small round LCD meter, but the HPS125 uses a large 7-inch TFT display (it seems to be the same as FRAT TRACK).
The lower part of the front of the fuel tank extends to the vicinity of the fork, and the shape with the knee grip strongly squeezed is a mixture of nostalgia and newness.
A seat with an unusual design that separates the seating surface of the tack roll.Of course tandem is possible
The front brake is equipped with a 4-pot radial mount caliper and ABS.The HPS300 in the photo is a 280mm round disc, but the HPS125 is equipped with a wave disc. Swing arm fenders and number mounts are popular in European cars.
The rear brake is also equipped with a round 300 and a wave disc 125. Swing arm fender & number mount is popular in European cars HPS 125[2022 model]
