At the end of November 2020, design drafts came to light at the Chinese patent office, with which a contract manufacturer wanted to protect a small single-cylinder tracker model. There was speculation about Zongshen and an upcoming small Aprilia model. MOTORRAD had already taken a closer look back then and in the patent pictures the F.B. Mondial Flat Track 125, which is already available in this country.

Group parent strikes back
Now Pelpi International, owner of the F.B Mondial brand, speaks out and declares that this design patent application was unlawful. The contract manufacturer used the corona crisis and the associated market launch delay by F.B.Mondial to quickly patent the model for China itself. Pelpi International has taken legal action against this and is confident that the relevant registration with the Chinese patent office will be deleted in the near future. The F.B.Mondial Flat Track 125 is only produced under the F.B.Mondial label and is marketed worldwide.
Conclusion
As a 150, the Aprilia Track would be of no interest for the European market. As a 125cc, her look could certainly find an audience for her. F.B. Mondial already has the apparently identical model at the start.
