At the heart of the 2012 CCM XTR-4 500 super motard motorcycle, CCM pairs a 498 cc (30.4 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 92.8 x 73.6 mm (3.7 x 2.9 inches) with a 9.2:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the XTR-4 500 measures 144 kg (317 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 850 mm (33.5 in) seat height — resulting in a taller command-style riding posture suited to medium-to-tall inseams, combined with a 1,535 mm (60.4 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 9-liter (2.4 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
Within MotoLibrary's CCM archive, this model family spans 2 indexed model years from 2012 to 2013, allowing buyers to track year-over-year changes in emissions tuning, weight and equipment.
