Technical Overview
2015 Bimota DB X Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown
Built around Bimota's enduro - offroad motorcycle platform, the 2015 Bimota DB X pairs a 1078 cc (65.8 cu in) oil & air-cooled v2, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 95 HP (69.3 kW) at 7,700 rpm while maximum torque reaches 100 Nm (73.8 lb-ft) at 6,200 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 88.1 HP per liter and a 1,500 rpm working window between peak torque (6,200 rpm) and peak power (7,700 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 DB X measures 175 kg (386 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.54 HP/kg (1.84 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 890 mm (35 in) seat height — reflecting a long-travel chassis stance that favors ground clearance and off-pavement control, combined with a 1,560 mm (61.4 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 14-liter (3.7 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
