That’s it, the Derbi Mulhacen 659 is available on its official website in a limited and numbered edition. In total, 200 models will be marketed in France with the program: "pleasure, awakening the senses and inimitable style". Presentation.

With the Derbi Mulhacen 659, the Spanish brand is creating a stir by launching its very first large-capacity motorcycle, which seeks to "perfectly combining design and technology, two concepts inherent in Derbi’s philosophy".

Derbi suggests that the Mulhacen allows "get intoxicated by the asphalt under the large wheels"and"to swallow the road at a steady pace", but its debonair and a bit retro aspect encourages more to go on a leisurely trip on small country roads.

Especially with its imposing wheels – 110 / 80×18 "at the front and 150 / 70×18" at the rear – the Mulhacen should not be reluctant to make a few detours off the beaten track. Its robust suspensions should also be up to the task: Marzocchi inverted fork with a diameter of 43 mm with 120 mm of travel and Sachs single side shock absorber, adjustable in preload and rebound of 120 mm of travel as well..

The 320 mm front disc, pinched by a Brembo 4-piston radial caliper, suggests biting braking … Perhaps too much for off-road use! But after all, the new Derbi is built for the road first. The 47 horses of the single-cylinder – which also equips the Yamaha MT-03 and XT660 but also the Aprilia Pegaso – and the 160 kg dry of the set should not frighten beginners.

The Mulhacen combines its particularly careful equipment with an aesthetic "dirt track"very fashionable lately, tense lines and pots that are reminiscent of those of Yamaha MT (read and).

For the cultural touch, Derbi specifies that "Named after Muley Hacen, penultimate king of Granada, who according to legend was buried at the top of the highest peak of the Sierra Nevada and gave him his name, the Mulhacen 659 is ready to reach heights". Highs which will not however exceed the 200 sales in France, set by the importer.

The first 100 models are available for reservation on the official Mulhacen website in a limited and numbered edition. This exclusive series is equipped with a carbon cover on the tank and a Berick brand jacket for the pilot, for the same price as the basic one announced at 7,500 €.
