NH 190

2021 Dafra NH 190 Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Built around Dafra's sport motorcycle platform, the 2021 Dafra NH 190 features a 183 cc (11.2 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 18 HP (13.1 kW) at 8,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 23.1 Nm (17 lb-ft) at 7,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 98.4 HP per liter and a 1,000 rpm working window between peak torque (7,500 rpm) and peak power (8,500 rpm), 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 NH 190 measures 141 kg (311 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.13 HP/kg (7.83 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 820 mm (32.3 in) seat height — resulting in a taller command-style riding posture suited to medium-to-tall inseams, combined with a 1,405 mm (55.3 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 11-liter (2.9 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
