At the heart of the 2014 BPG DTV Shredder prototype - concept model motorcycle, BPG relies on a 196 cc (12 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 14 HP (10.2 kW) at 4,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 20.3 Nm (15 lb-ft), transferring power to the rear wheel through a automatic gearbox and belt final drive. With a specific output of 71.4 HP per liter, the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.
On the scales, the DTV Shredder measures 127 kg (280 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.11 HP/kg (9.07 kg per horsepower).
