New colours are available for the 2010 Malaguti XTM and XSM enduro and supermotard models. The 50 cc bikes will now be available in white and black/orange, with more agressive graphics.

The Malaguti XTM and Malaguti XSM have a 36 mm telescopic fork, and rear hydraulic shock absorber. They are equipped with a six speed transmission, particularly handy for younger riders familiarising themselves with bikes.

The frame is a twin-beam stainless steel structure, while the XTM is equipped with 240 mm disc brakes, and the XSM enduro with 260 mm disc brakes. The rear disc measures 220 mm. The Malaguti XTM and XSM cost about 2,600 euros.

The Malaguti Hybrid 2.0 scooter is in final stages of development and should be ready for the market by spring 2010, after being presented at the 2009 EICMA show. It works with a “hub” electric motor and an endothermic engine, that kicks in only when the battery charge gets low.

The Malaguti Hybrid can run in full electric or hybrid mode. The electric mode allows for a daily average distance of about 20 km, while the hybrid mode using the 50cc, four-stroke engine has a range of 150 km. It is also enabled with an on-board battery generator, or recharge can occur with a 220V power outlet. Full details are after the jump and check out the Malaguti site for more information.

The partnership between Malaguti and Ducati Corse continues, with this Troy Bayliss scooter replica. The new livery celebrates Bayliss’ third superbike title in last year’s world superbike championship.

The Malaguti Phantom F12R Bayliss Limited Edition adopts some of the elements of the Ducati livery from Bayliss’ win and the last race of his career on the Portimao circuit. The unmistakable number 21 is featured on a limited edition scooter designed for younger users.

The scooter is available in a liquid cooled version, with a multifunctional digital display. The Phantom limited edition includes 13-inch wheels and extra large tubeless tyres. It has 190mm disc brakes with hydraulic transmission and the weight is only 96 kg. The Phantom F12 Bayliss Limited Edition is available in dealerships at a price of 2,560 euros.

The Malaguti scooter offering has been updated with a couple of new models: the Blog 125 i.e and the 160 i.e. The new Blog is a medium-sized scooter with two versions of a 125cc or a 160cc engine.

Both scooters have electronic ignition and comply with Euro 3 norms. The Centro engines are single-cylinder, four stroke, liquid cooled with power between 11.8 and 13.7 hp.

Another fundamental characteristic is the seat, 770mm from the ground, which guarantees easy riding and manoeuvrability. The wheels are 13 inches with disc brakes of 225mm at the front and 220mm at the rear. The dry weight is 138kg.

As seen at the Eicma show, Malaguti will have its hybrid scooter ready for 2009, a model that has been developed through Italian-Chinese collaboration and which became a truly specialised research project.

The project started in 2007 and had as its main objective, the commercialisation by 2010 of a vehicle with extremely low environmental impact, that could reduce emissions by more than 65 percent compared to current models.

Ecological matters are a recurring theme around the world and have a particular focus on the Asian continent where economic expansion and the rise of the middle class are rapidly increasing. The prototypes of this future scooter will be developed in two different versions: one for Europe and one for China.

We’ve been waiting for the re-birth of the smaller cylinder segment for a while, as they’re great motorcycles for riders new to two wheels or for whoever wants a bike that’s easy to ride and manage.

In Italy, imports could be increased as there’s plenty of request in the market, while in other European countries like Greece and Croatia, numerous models from Japanese companies can be found.

With times currently as they are, transport which “drinks” less is always appreciated, while they can still give some riding satisfaction. Oberdan Bezzi, on his Motosketches blog, reports that Malaguti could try a motorcycle such as a 250cc Maverick, with an agressive and modern look.

So let’s skip notes on design and technical specs and say that this would be a motorcycle with the aim of reduced maintenance costs and consumption, but with enough grint to be fun all the same. The engine could be a Made in China, with Italian design quality marrying to a good price - success could be ensured.

Malaguti will present its next scooter project at the EICMA Milan show, from November 4 to 9.

The temporary name for the project is CK 13, and will be available in 160cc and 125cc versions. Other features are likely to include a low, comfortable seat, front protection and shield, short and compact wheel base and large storage box that will hold two jet helmets. The brakes will include two disc brakes.

We should be seeing a compact and agressive design, rigorously made in Italy. The CK 13 will be equipped with a liquid cooled engine and electronic ignition, the same as the Centro. The engine is the fruit of an important international collaboration on electronic ignition and emissions, lower even than Euro 3 norms. The Malaguti CK 13 will be available by the end of 2008 with a price at 2,500 euros.
