Positioned in Apsonic's sport motorcycle lineup, the 2020 Apsonic Z-One 170 pairs a 175 cc (10.7 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 12.2 HP (8.9 kW) at 8,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 11.5 Nm (8.5 lb-ft) at 7,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and shaft drive (cardan) final drive. With a specific output of 69.7 HP per liter and a 1,500 rpm working window between peak torque (7,000 rpm) and peak power (8,500 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 Z-One 170 measures 150 kg (331 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.08 HP/kg (12.3 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 775 mm (30.5 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,340 mm (52.8 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry.
