FB MONDIAL

Piega 125...FB Mondial has won no less than 10 Speed ​​World Championships since the brand was founded by Count Giuseppe Boselli back in 1948 and, until now, its entire range evoked classic-style motorcycles of the time, making nods to vintage models from times gone by.

But with the arrival of its new Piega 125 it breaks with that design line by creating its first sports naked with a futuristic look whose design is signed by Rodolfo Frascoli, the creator of the restyling of the Suzuki Katana, and which, due to the performance developed by its engine Liquid-cooled Piaggio, along with a price of €4,449, will position itself as a good purchase option among the youngest.

The two superimposed LED spotlights -all the lighting on the bike is LED- and the three gill slits on each side, simulating a sports fairing in its side view, are the hallmarks of this new Piega 125.

Also striking is the clean design of the rear part, as well as the asymmetrical swingarm: on the left side it shows a reinforcement that also supports the chain guard and rear fender attached to the wheel, while on the right it adopts a curvature or “banana” to save the exhaust outlet.

The engine, as usual in the FB Mondial 125cc range, uses Piaggio liquid-cooled technology with a double overhead camshaft (DOHC) and four valves, with 14.28 CV of power and 11.0 Nm of torque. engine. The gearbox is six-speed and its curb weight is 123.5kg.

In the suspension section, the Piega 125 mounts an inverted fork with gold-anodized legs with 114mm of travel, while a hydraulic monoshock absorber with 43mm of travel is used in the rear.

The 17-inch alloy wheels are fitted with wide 110/70 tires at the front and 140/70 at the rear, equipped with 300mm and 218mm discs, respectively, with their corresponding four-piston opposed calipers with radial mounting and a single-piston rear wheel. The operation of the brakes comes standard with an ABS anti-lock system via a modulator with two independent channels.

The instrumentation brings together all the information on a large color TFT screen with two different displays: classic, with rev counter and fuel levels and temperature concentric with the speedometer figure, and sporty, giving more importance to the rev counter with the useful area of revolutions (from 5,500 revolutions) horizontally.

The new FB Mondial Piega is available in two colors and can now be purchased from official dealers at an introductory price of €4,449.
