Technical Overview
2012 Derbi Variant Sport Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown
Built around Derbi's scooter motorcycle platform, the 2012 Derbi Variant Sport features a 49.9 cc (3 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, two-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 5.8 HP (4.2 kW) at 7,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a automatic gearbox and shaft drive (cardan) final drive. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 39.9 x 40.0 mm (1.6 x 1.6 inches) with a 9.5:1 compression ratio.
Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 775 mm (30.5 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,200 mm (47.2 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 4-liter (1.1 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
