This 4 Valve Super Sport model was advertised as the fastest motorcycle in the world. Designed by the engineer Giuseppe Remondini in 1922, it remained in production until 1925. It features a high-performance 4-stroke vertical single-cylinder engine with overhead valves, parallel in pairs and inclined to each other with pushrod and rocker arm control, and hairpin springs.

Lubrication is mechanical with a special Frera pump and additional with a foot pump. The gearbox is a three-speed Frera patent, separated with hand control. The clutch is dry controlled by hand, the transmission entirely by chain. The highly stable tubular frame has a front suspension with a parallelogram fork with two Frera-patented springs, and a rigid rear end. The handlebars have a double attachment. The brakes are rimless on both wheels. The machine won numerous competitions in its day. There are two examples in the museum, dated 1923 and 1924.
