2013 Bennche Rival 250 r Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

At the heart of the 2013 Bennche Rival 250 r sport motorcycle, Bennche features a 249 cc (15.2 cu in) liquid-cooled twin, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 25 HP (18.2 kW), transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 100.4 HP per liter, the engine character is reflecting a performance-oriented street tune that balances strong mid-range pull with an energetic top-end rush.

On the scales, the Rival 250 r measures 171.5 kg (378 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.15 HP/kg (6.86 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 790 mm (31.1 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,384 mm (54.5 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 21.95-liter (5.8 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
