It was equipped with an excellent overhead-valve 500 cm3 single-cylinder engine, and featured a special oscillating parallelogram rear suspension. It gave rise to competition derivatives that excelled on the racetrack, in the hands of amateurs and professionals alike, and could stand up to English machines such as the Norton Manx.

The Saturno gained such a reputation that the manufacturer took over the name in the late '80s for a sporty single-cylinder.
