Malaguti was resurrected in 2018 with the purchase of the Italian marque by the KSR group. The 90-year-old Italian company re-established itself on the market by depending on pre-existing Chinese production motorcycles that were modified and rebranded with the Malaguti logo, similar to how numerous other companies have done so in the past.
With the Drakon 125, the firm announced the commencement of production of a totally self-built motorbike, notably in terms of design, towards the end of 2019. It was just described as a prototype at the time. For a time, it was assumed that the Drakon was no longer in the cards. That is, until Malaguti unveiled the production version at EICMA 2021, complete with a 13.5 horsepower, Euro5-compliant single-cylinder engine. This model will be available in the second half of 2022 for 4,000 Euros, which is the equivalent of $4,160 USD.
