Cabeza Hormiga, ‘ant head’ in Spanish, is a popular and affectionate nickname given by users themselves to a machine whose particularly compact and streamlined cylinder head irresistibly evoked the insect’s morphology. One of those spontaneous nicknames that spring up in workshops and garages, spread by word of mouth, and eventually become the true name of a machine that everyone recognises but few can name officially. An undeniable sign of popularity and affection.

In 1967, Derbi was a company on the rise internationally. Its first Grand Prix victories were beginning to shape a legend, and the road bike range benefited directly from this creative momentum. In this context, the 125cc model occupies a strategic position: positioned above the mopeds that form the commercial heart of the brand, it is aimed at a more demanding, more experienced clientele who seek a genuine riding experience from their motorbike, rather than simply a means of transport.

Its 125cc single-cylinder two-stroke engine is a mechanical masterpiece built to the exacting standards of a manufacturer simultaneously developing racing engines: lively, well-built, with a distinct character that fully justifies the interest the machine has sparked among an entire generation of young Spaniards. The distinctive cylinder head that earned it its nickname is both a technical detail and a hallmark of its identity, instantly recognisable and impossible to confuse with anything else.
