Company History
FB Mondial’s first life was incandescent: in the 1950s the small Milanese marque dominated Grand Prix’s light classes with jewel-like DOHC singles, winning world championships and influencing engine architecture across Europe. Racing was the point; production runs were small and exquisitely built, carrying the aura of paddock success onto city streets. Economics and the rise of mass-production rivals dimmed the brand, which went dormant until a modern revival brought the name back on stylish 125–300cc singles. The new Mondials—HPS (Hipster) and Pagani—blend classic lines with modern reliability, ABS, and EFI, offering A1/A2 riders Italian flair without exotic maintenance. While the engines are sourced from reliable partners, chassis and finishing reflect a commitment to proportion and detail that honors the badge. Historically, FB Mondial is a lesson in scale: a tiny company can bend the arc of racing history, and later, a revived label can meet contemporary needs without parodying its past. For today’s riders, a Mondial is less about laptimes and more about daily joy: light steering, elegant surfaces, and the intangible satisfaction of piloting a name that once sang at the top of the sport.
