The 1951 works 125 replaced the earlier shaft-driven overhead cam layout with twin overhead camshafts driven by a gear train, in a deeply finned single cylinder bolted to a unit-construction gearbox. A fully enclosed racer with girder forks and plunger rear suspension, it was considered ahead of its rivals in 1951, the year Carlo Ubbiali took the 125 world title for Mondial.
