Built around Cectek's atv motorcycle platform, the 2009 Cectek 500EFI Gladiator utilizes a 500 cc (30.5 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke layout.
On the scales, the 500EFI Gladiator measures 330 kg (728 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 880 mm (34.6 in) seat height — reflecting a long-travel chassis stance that favors ground clearance and off-pavement control, combined with a 1,280 mm (50.4 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 19-liter (5 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
