Key specifications
Overview
Introducing the 2009 Derbi DH 2.0—a motorcycle that stands as a testament to innovative design and engineering in the realm of prototype concept models. Derbi, a brand known for its commitment to performance and craftsmanship, brings forth this lightweight machine that is more than just a bike; it's a vision of agility and urban mobility. With its sleek lines and minimalist approach, the DH 2.0 is designed for enthusiasts who crave an exhilarating ride through city streets and winding roads alike. At the heart of the DH 2.0 lies a spirited single-cylinder, four-stroke engine that displaces 96.21 ccm, delivering an impressive 10.72 horsepower at 8,500 RPM and a torque of 7.10 Nm at 6,000 RPM. This powertrain, equipped with an air-cooling system and a 1-speed gearbox, provides a lively and responsive ride, making it perfect for navigating through congested traffic or enjoying a leisurely weekend cruise. The lightweight construction—tipping the scales at just 40 kg—complements the engine's output, resulting in a remarkable power-to-weight ratio of 0.2683 HP/kg. The bike's handling is further enhanced by a 38 mm upside-down front fork and a rear air monoshock, providing 200 mm and 150 mm of travel, respectively, which allows for smooth cornering and an engaging riding experience. The Derbi DH 2.0 is packed with features that reflect its innovative spirit. The aluminum frame is not only lightweight but ingeniously integrates the fuel tank, optimizing the bike's center of gravity and enhancing stability. The braking system is equipped with single discs at both the front and rear, ensuring reliable stopping power when needed. The unique wet automatic centrifugal clutch makes for seamless gear engagement, allowing riders to focus on enjoying the ride rather than shifting. The design is further complemented by a kick starter, which adds a classic touch to this futuristic motorcycle. **
