Sweden was a major presence in early motocross, noted both for its talented riders and groundbreaking machinery, and Sweden’s Monark is one of the rarest motocross machines from the 1950’s and 1960’s. The marque enjoyed great success in the International Six Days Trials and achieved its motocross zenith in 1959, when Sten Lundin rode an Albin-powered Monark to the FIM World 500cc Motocross Championship.

The Albin interest continued to grow. The young Nisse Hedlund fell for the charm of the engine. He won the junior-class at 1954's Sk�nelopp with a sharpened Albin engine with hairpin needles in a Velocette frame.
