Garelli Tiger Cross: history and buying advice
An off-road version of the Rekord moped, with five gears.
History
The Tiger Cross began as an off-road version, with pedals, of the Garelli Rekord moped. It had a 49 cc two-stroke (40 × 39 mm) with a 20 mm Dell’Orto carburettor and five gears, changed on the right.
There were several versions (Mark 1, 1.5, 2 and later the K), recognisable by the stripes on the tank and the colour of the side panels and mudguards. New versions kept coming until around 1976.
