Timeless Riding
After its re-birth F.B Mondial is on the right way to become a leading manufacturer again. The incredible success of HPS 125 and HPS 300 models between 2015 and 2018 has driven the brand directly to the launch of the Sport Classic 2019, all this on the eve of the 70 years anniversary from the first world champion won by F.B Mondial with Nello Pagani (whom the motorcycle is named after) as pilot.
With the Sport Classic the brand aims to finish to establish itself in Europe and to continue the conquest of Asia, already started with China, South Korea and Japan.
Always with the future in mind, the company has already displayed its next model: the FLAT TRACK. This model, like the Sport Classic, uses the same technical basis of the HPS and will complete the family in 2020. A lot more still to come, great things to discover with incredible news for the brand and its followers.
