Cagiva Mito 125EV (1996)

The Cagiva Mito 125EV (1996) is an unapologetic road warrior, forged in the fires of competitive racing and honed to deliver breathtaking performance. Its striking design, penned by Massimo Tamburini, echoes the Ducati 916’s sleek lines, particularly in the front and rear fairings.

Under its aggressive skin lies a potent single-cylinder two-stroke engine, cranking out an impressive 22kW (30bhp) – a figure that belies its compact 125cc displacement. The power-to-weight ratio is nothing short of remarkable, boasting an astonishing 179kW (240bhp) per litre.

The Mito’s chassis is equally impressive, featuring a robust twin-spar aluminium frame and well-damped suspension components, including upside-down front forks and a rear monoshock. Its gull-wing-type swingarm, borrowed from Grand Prix bikes, ensures ample clearance for the large expansion chamber exhaust, making this bike a true gem in its class. The Cagiva Mito 125EV is an electrifying ride that will leave you breathless.
