The bike will be offered in two variants - MondialMoto V5S and V5R, and the 1000 cc, 75-degree V5 engine is expected to put out over 200 bhp and the bikes will come kitted out with a long list of fancy, top-spec components. So far, though the bike is still in the prototype stage and Mondial is developing the prototype chassis and expected to begin testing by the first half of 2019.

Both the V5R and V5S will feature Ohlins suspension and steering damper, Brembo brakes, titanium Termignoni exhaust, Pirelly tyres and riding modes. The V5R will be more exclusive with carbon fibre wheels, bigger brakes, electronic suspension and electronic steering lock. The R version will also get larger valves and different cams which will certainly make more power than the S variant. Both variants weigh 179 kg, and while the V5S comes with a monocoque aluminium chassis, the V5R will have a carbon fibre monocoque chassis with a carbon sub-frame. The V5 engine will feature titanium exhaust and inlet valves and will have a compression ratio of 13.5:1 and will come with a standard slipper clutch.
