Positioned in Bimota's super motard motorcycle lineup, the 2019 Bimota DBX 1100 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 98 HP (71.5 kW) at 7,750 rpm while maximum torque reaches 105 Nm (77.4 lb-ft) at 6,250 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 90.9 HP per liter and a 1,500 rpm working window between peak torque (6,250 rpm) and peak power (7,750 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 DBX 1100 measures 174.6 kg (385 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.56 HP/kg (1.78 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 810 mm (31.9 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,465 mm (57.7 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 14-liter (3.7 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints, while factory top speed is listed at 220 km/h (137 mph).
