Mondial Flat Track 125 2022 — Specifications

When Mondial decides to resurrect a legendary name, it doesn’t choose the easy route. This 2022 Flat Track 125 is not a simple toy for teenagers; it’s a clear statement of intent: to bring the spirit of dirt track racing to the road, with all the authenticity that implies. It boasts a pure flat tracker look, with its flat tank, narrow seat, and balloon tires, but don’t be fooled, it’s a machine homologated for road use. Beneath this vintage suit beats a modern heart, a 124 cm3 four-stroke single-cylinder engine with fuel injection and liquid cooling. Its 14.8 horsepower at 9750 rpm and torque of 10.5 Nm don’t promise three-digit top speeds, but they guarantee ideal progressiveness for taming trails.

The philosophy is one of functional austerity. A simple frame, a seat perched at 87 cm, an announced weight of 133 kg fully fueled: everything is designed to feel free and tall. The 40 mm USD front suspension and the rear monoshock, coupled with 205 mm of ground clearance, are passports to off-road adventure. Chain transmission and a six-speed gearbox give you the tools to play with the engine speeds. It’s not a motorcycle to go fast with; it’s a motorcycle to go everywhere, taking your time and savoring every bump.

Compared to a Honda CRF125 or a Yamaha TT-R125, also homologated, the Mondial Flat Track 125 focuses entirely on style and road attitude. Its disc brakes, assisted by an ABS likely deactivatable at the rear, and its basic instrumentation position it as an urban and suburban leisure machine with strong personalization potential. The 9.5-liter tank and the single-cylinder’s reasonable fuel consumption offer sufficient range for long countryside rides.

So, who is this machine for? The novice who wants an original and maneuverable first bike, the city dweller seeking a quirky retro style capable of cutting through a park, or the collector of beautiful machines who sees in Mondial a piece of Italian history. It will never rival a true 125 enduro in terms of pure performance, but it offers something rarer: character to spare and a smile with every start. It’s an invitation to rediscover the simple pleasure of motorcycling, far from screens and electronic aids.
