Midual is a French high-end motorcycle manufacturer. Founded in 1997 by brothers Olivier and François Midy, the company is headquartered in Angers, France. A first prototype, the Midual 900, was presented in 1999 at the Paris Motor Show, but sufficient funding could not be found and the project was abandoned.[1]

In August 2014 the brand announced a new model at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, the Midual Type 1.[2] The announced price is £140,000 (€155,000), making it one of the most expensive motorcycles in the world.[3] The Type 1 is produced in a limited series.[1]
