The Bultaco Metralla 62 is an iconic model from the Catalan brand Bultaco, founded in 1958 by Xavier Bulto after he left Montesa following disagreements over strategy. The context at the time was challenging, with the arrival of the SEAT 600 making cars accessible to the middle class. 

A perfect balance was struck in 1959 with the Bultaco Tralla 101, an agile and versatile two-stroke model that was both high-performing and commercially viable. The Metralla 62 builds on this vision, representing a key milestone in the brand’s consolidation. 

It was the logical extension of the Tralla 101’s success. In 1962, the Metralla 62 was launched with a 196cc single-cylinder engine producing 10 hp at 7,000 rpm, weighing just 97 kg and reaching a top speed of 130 km/h. Its deliberately simple mechanics quickly earned it an excellent reputation, particularly on the British racing market, which was crucial to Bultaco’s profitability, as motorbike racing received virtually no media coverage in Spain at the time.  

It was the precursor to one of the brand’s road-going successes, the Bultaco Metralla MK2.
