Derbi - the Spanish manufacturer controlled by Piaggio - presented at the 2011 SEMA the Senda DRD 50 range, which is composed of two lines: R (Racing enduro) and SM (Supermoto). Moreover, both these DRD 50 lines will offer X-Treme and Racing versions of the model, which will underline Derbi’s sporty attitude.

The two X-Treme machines (Enduro and Supermotard) uses LED rear light technology, multifunctional instrument panel and aluminum double cradle frame. Both model are powered by a 50 cc single-cylinder two-stroke engine with liquid cooling system and 6 speed gearbox and use a 36 mm hydraulic fork on the front (190 mm travel) and a monoshock on the rear (182 mm travel). Same engine for S and RM version of Derbi Senda DRD Racing, but they are equipped with top notch suspension for this category: 40 mm hydraulic fork on the front (195 mm travel) and a monoshock with progressive link system on the rear (182 mm travel)

The whole lot also share the massive - probably oversized -braking system: 260 mm discs on the front and 220 mm on the rear. However, the main difference between the R and SM lines is the type of wheels they use: the R enduro bikes are equipped with 21” on the front and 18” on the rear and fitted with off-road tyres while the SM uses 17″ super light wheels on front and back wearing regular tarmac wheels.
