The '50s
A history of racing, victories and passion!
Paton was born in 1958, when Giuseppe Pattoni and Lino Tonti, just after the closing of the Mondial Racing Department, decided to develop a racing bike giving up their liquidation in exchange for the racing material left on their shelves.
The first version of the engine 125cc, revisited and improved with a dual overhead camshaft instead of the Mondial single shaft, was shown to the press with the double name of Paton-Mondial. But the Cavaliere Boselli, patron of Mondial, in order not to fail the “Patto di Astensione” to which he took part, ordered the cancellation of any connection to the Mondial.
