Introducing the 2010 Derbi Mulhacen Cafe 125, a stunning homage to the café racer culture wrapped in a compact naked bike design. Hailing from the sun-kissed landscapes of Spain, this motorcycle embodies a perfect blend of style and functionality. With its retro-inspired aesthetics and nimble frame, the Mulhacen Cafe 125 is tailored for urban commuters and spirited weekend riders alike. It captivates with a sleek silhouette and a hint of rebellious flair, making it a standout in the entry-level motorcycle market. At the heart of the Mulhacen Cafe 125 is a spirited 124.20 cc single-cylinder, four-stroke engine, delivering a potent 15 horsepower at a thrilling 9,250 RPM. This performance, coupled with a 6-speed gearbox, ensures that riders experience a seamless power delivery and exhilarating acceleration, whether zipping through city streets or carving out winding country roads. With a compression ratio of 12.0:1 and a responsive carburettor fuel system, the engine showcases both efficiency and performance, while the liquid cooling system helps maintain optimal operating temperatures for extended rides.

The Mulhacen Cafe 125 is equipped with an array of features that enhance both comfort and control. The steel perimetral double tube frame provides a sturdy foundation, complemented by a 40 mm upside-down fork and a mono-shock rear suspension with 130 mm of travel, ensuring a smooth ride over varied terrains. Safety is paramount, with single disc brakes front and rear—300 mm and 218 mm respectively—providing reliable stopping power. The electric starter system and the adjustable seat height of 790 mm (31.1 inches) add to the bike's user-friendly character, making it accessible for a wide range of riders. Available in striking red and black color options, the Mulhacen Cafe 125 is not just a bike; it's a statement piece for those looking to express their individuality. **
