Built around CCM's enduro - offroad motorcycle platform, the 2012 CCM C-XR230 utilizes a 230 cc (14 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 18 HP (13.1 kW), transferring power to the rear wheel through chain final drive. With a specific output of 78.3 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 C-XR230 measures 129 kg (284 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.14 HP/kg (7.17 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 940 mm (37 in) seat height — reflecting a long-travel chassis stance that favors ground clearance and off-pavement control, combined with a 1,350 mm (53.1 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 8.8-liter (2.3 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
