The second version of the Sprint was created in 1954 by Marcelo Cama and Enric Sirera. It has a Burman 4-speed gearbox and a new carburettor, had a power of 13.8 bhp at 8,000 rpm and a lightweight fibreglass wrap-around fairing. One of these units was given to the Swedish rider Leif Smedh who raced it in 1955 in Skaneloppet and used it frequently until 1958.
