I came across this site and was amazed by their concept bike and began to wonder what it would be like with a few more cc's and some gears.

derbi dh2.0

dad,

Looks like a lot of fun. Too bad it dosen't have gears and a clutch. I wonder how much it will cost? It reminds me of a Yamaha Trickster or a Scorpa for tricks.

Cheers

I would think that just a tranny and clutch would make it a blast !!!!

You'd almost think you were seeing the future of our sport, in about a decade when gasoline is precious like high brow perfume, $1200.00 and ounce. The lads will sit and fondly imagine the days when an extravagance like a "big" 250 two stroke are nothing but a fond memory in our collective conciousness. The grand kids will watch old movies of Dougie Lampkin, Fuji Gas, Toni Bou and marvel at the antiquated machinery, while riding one of these bikes!

However in reality these things can't possibly be nearly as good at real sections, in the real world. That Sherdaka 125 looks awesome, but it sort of just rams into the rocks, where the real Sherco goes up effortlessly. Engines make allot of diference and even though it is incredibly light I can't imagine it having the kind of power that a real trials bike makes. This is a fascinating machine for sure. I'd have to say I'm sceptical about it being a world class trials bike. I'd love to try one out!

I think it is initially aimed at the mountain bike market but with bigger capacity and gears it could be interesting to say the least.

Back last year there was a thread on a prototype bike and its worth a read for those 'techies' amongst us.

This is what they came up with from scratch...

Hmm the derbi looks like a Sachs madass/downhill mountainbike

Looks like it needs a bit of a waterproofing job done on the air filter for the UK market.
