Positioned in Cheetah's custom - cruiser motorcycle lineup, the 2013 Cheetah Ecotec utilizes a 1600 cc (97.6 cu in) liquid-cooled in-line four, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 175 HP (127.7 kW). With a specific output of 109.4 HP per liter, the engine character is reflecting a performance-oriented street tune that balances strong mid-range pull with an energetic top-end rush.
On the scales, the Ecotec measures 680.4 kg (1500 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.26 HP/kg (3.89 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 559 mm (22 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops. The 11-liter (2.9 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
