Motorcycles on the road: FGR MIDALU

After six years of seemingly endless work we are introducing our FGR motorcycle of Naked Bike class named MIDALU. This bike is an elaborate and luxury motorcycle fitted with the best components and many innovative solutions.

Brief History of the Project
Such a big project was unthinkable without grants, therefore, in 2004 we applied for a drive unit – an engine of 2,5 l grant.
The actual work on the motorbike begun in 2005, when the FGR 2500 V6 engine development grant was approved by the Ministry of Industry. The endless drawings were followed by a model development and in 2007 finally by the complete engine.

The engine exhibition took place in January 2008 in the FPOS company, which together with MOTO FGR and Machines – Felgr companies financed the whole project. A godfather of the engine became a major of Ústí nad Orlicí, who was at that time Mr. Richard Pešek.
The second part of the project started at the same year when the second grant on the motorcycle chassis was approved. The project was finalized only three weeks ago, on 31.12.2010 at 13.30!

At the beginning of the second part of the project technical designer competition was announced, in which more than 40 interested designers participated. The best eleven were chosen into the final part and the decision was being made between Mr. Ladislav Škoda and Mr. Stanislav Hanuš, who finally became the winner of the whole competition and two years of intensive design drawings were launched. He followed up with what Mr. Kreuze started before him.

Motorcycle MIDALU
MIDALU features V-6 engine with the volume of 2,5 l, which belongs to the biggest engine volumes worldwide. It is characterized by six exhaust endings and also, there is a similarity in a tube frame and a swinging fork with the racing motorbike FGR 125 GP. Very interesting is a solution of self-supporting carbon tank, which also serves as a seat, thanks to which the whole motorcycle weight is reduced. The actual MIDALU weight is 270 kg.
Participation on this project can be considered very unique in the Czech Republic comprising 44 companies from Czech Republic, Germany and Italy.
