Built around Derbi's naked motorcycle platform, the 2008 Derbi Mulhacén Café 125 utilizes a 124.2 cc (7.6 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 20.1 HP (14.7 kW) at 9,250 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 161.8 HP per liter, the engine character is placing it firmly in high-revving supersport territory where top-end breathing dominates.
On the scales, the Mulhacén Café 125 measures 110 kg (243 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.18 HP/kg (5.47 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 785 mm (30.9 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,326 mm (52.2 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 13-liter (3.4 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
