Technical Overview
2020 Dafra Next 300 Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown
Engineered by Dafra for the sport motorcycle segment, the 2020 Dafra Next 300 relies on a 278 cc (17 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 27 HP (19.7 kW) at 7,900 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 97.1 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 Next 300 measures 165 kg (364 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.16 HP/kg (6.11 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 790 mm (31.1 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,335 mm (52.6 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 13-liter (3.4 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
