Cagiva Mitto SP525

SP525

In 2005 at the motorcycle show , Cagiva launched a tuned competition version of the Mito known as the SP525. This is something of a homage to the cagiva gp500 (C594) racing bike. The engine and several other areas have been tweaked, still displacing 125 cc, but now producing >37 bhp at the crank . Front and rear fairings have been modified to look more like the C594, plus we lose the speedo and gain 8-spoke forged aluminium wheels; the overall weight is down. The bike is not road-legal.

For 2008, Cagiva added the Mito SP525 road bike (not to be confused with the racing SP525 above) along side the Mito Evo II. In terms of looks, the new bike inherits some stylistic traits from the competition SP525, essentially similar front and rear fairings.

On a technical level, the bike retains much the same rolling chassis as the Evo and the engine is still a 125cc two-stroke, but has had several changes, notably a new Electronic Carburetion System (developed in conjunction with dell' orto ) governing both fuel-air, oil-mix and ignition, allowing it to pass tougher euro 3 emissions regulations.
