Positioned in Daelim's custom - cruiser motorcycle lineup, the 2016 Daelim Daystar 250 utilizes a 246.9 cc (15.1 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 25 HP (18.2 kW), transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 101.3 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 Daystar 250 measures 160 kg (353 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.16 HP/kg (6.4 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 720 mm (28.3 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,505 mm (59.3 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 16.8-liter (4.4 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
