Positioned in aeon's prototype - concept model motorcycle lineup, the 2008 aeon cobra 220 relies on a 196 cc (12 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 12.1 HP (8.8 kW) at 6,800 rpm while maximum torque reaches 13.6 Nm (10 lb-ft) at 5,750 rpm. With a specific output of 61.7 HP per liter and a 1,050 rpm working window between peak torque (5,750 rpm) and peak power (6,800 rpm), the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.
On the scales, the cobra 220 measures 193 kg (425 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.06 HP/kg (15.95 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 1,155 mm (45.5 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 7.3-liter (1.9 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints, while factory top speed is listed at 64 km/h (40 mph).
