2025 Dafra NH 300 Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

At the heart of the 2025 Dafra NH 300 allround motorcycle, Dafra relies on a 278.3 cc (17 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 24 HP (17.5 kW) at 7,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 29 Nm (21.4 lb-ft) at 7,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 86.2 HP per liter and a 500 rpm working window between peak torque (7,000 rpm) and peak power (7,500 rpm), the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.

On the scales, the NH 300 measures 154.3 kg (340 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.16 HP/kg (6.43 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 810 mm (31.9 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, 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.
