Quintessence

The superfinishing
of an exceptional motorcycle

QUINTESSENCE is an extraordinary interpretation of the Midual Type 1.

Difficult and time-consuming to manufacture, this machine was designed as the quintessence of an exceptional motorcycle, in the spirit of the show bikes of the 1930s.

Its fabulous level of finish allows one to appreciate its technology, forms and the metal from which it is made at a glance.

A showbike, the Quintessence nonetheless remains an authentic, approved road machine with accomplished road handling.

Full polish

QUINTESSENCE receives a sumptuous fully polished finish that reveals the nobility and boldness of its construction.

The purity of the monocoque is revealed by a unique, fully machined single seat cowl and a vibrant “tangerine” orange leather.

3 units

Due to its complexity, only 3 units of the QUINTESSENCE Type 1 will be produced.
