history

In 1994 the first Malaguti Phantom F12 50 cm³ were built and sold very successfully. The design of the popular motorcycle scooter remained almost unchanged until 2006. It was primarily intended to be reminiscent of the American fighter planes.

In 1999 the first scooter with a 100 cc two-stroke engine came onto the market, which was built until 2003. This was only offered as an air-cooled model and is characterized by the same successful design as the 50 cm³ variant. Only a few thousand copies were sold. From 2003 the 4-stroke version of the Malaguti Phantom F12 was built. It was bigger and heavier and had a water-cooled 125 to 250 cc engine. The design and electronics have also been slightly adapted. The engine was the successful Liberty engine that was already installed in many other motorcycles.

A heavily modified version of the Phantom F12 50 has been on sale since the end of 2006, the Phantom F12 R. In November 2007, an even newer version of the Phantom F12 was presented, with the name Phantom F12 S.
