Company History
Midual builds haute-couture motorcycles in tiny numbers, centered on a longitudinal flat-twin and artisanal craftsmanship—saddlery-grade leather, cast and machined cases, and dashboards reminiscent of vintage instrumentation. Development spanned years of prototyping and homologation, prioritizing refinement over volume: heat management, fueling polish, and chassis neutrality at real-world speeds. Buyers commission colors, materials, and fittings much like coachbuilt cars, and the factory supports each machine as a long-term heirloom. Historically, Midual shows how a small French atelier can elevate motorcycling to luxury craft without losing rideability. The bikes are rolling objets d’art that still corner cleanly and cruise serenely—proof that elegance and engineering can share equal billing.
