MIDUAL TYPE 1 Models/Series Timeline, Specifications & Photos

he Midual Type 1 still uses a transverse flat-twin engine design and the cylinders laying in the frame at a 25° downward angle. Midual claims the arrangement offers a low center of gravity while reducing longitudinal inertia. While the original 900 concept had a 94 mm bore and 63 mm stroke, the Type 1 has a 100 mm cylinder bore with a 66 mm stroke, giving it a 1036cc displacement. Midual claims 74 ft-lb. of torque at 5300 rpm with a peak of 106 hp at 8000 rpm, just 800 rpm below the liquid-cooled, fuel-injected DOHC four-valve per cylinder engine’s rev limit.

The engine is mounted to an aluminum alloy frame with an integrated fuel tank, holding 3.7 gallons of gasoline. The top of the fuel tank houses an instrument panel with several analog gauges.
