Derbi DH2.0 combines trials and mountain bikes

To create the DH2.0, Derbi combined the accessibility of a bicycle with the performance of a trials bike. The 100cc engine makes 8bhp, while the entire package weighs just 40kg dry. The incredibly low weight is made possible by the use of an incredibly minimal chassis and exotic materials. The swingarm, for instance, is made up of tiny carbon fiber beams braced with carbon blades.
Other intricate details include the radial front brake caliper, black nitride forks and footpegs that look like bicycle pedals. If this concept is ever adapted for production, expect it to fall in spec and gain weight in an effort to reduce its price.

We like easily accessible off-road bikes like this or the M85, but can't emphasize enough the need to fit them with electric engines. Bikes like the electric Quantya motocrosser represent the future of off-road riding, sacrificing no performance, and their utter silence will help us hang on to existing riding areas or even open new ones.
