2018 DF Motor DF250RTD Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Built around DF Motor's custom - cruiser motorcycle platform, the 2018 DF Motor DF250RTD pairs a 229.2 cc (14 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 15.4 HP (11.3 kW) at 6,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 17.5 Nm (12.9 lb-ft) at 5,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 67.2 HP per liter and a 1,000 rpm working window between peak torque (5,500 rpm) and peak power (6,500 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 DF250RTD measures 159 kg (351 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.1 HP/kg (10.32 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 1,480 mm (58.3 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 15-liter (4 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 4.2 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 357 km (222 miles) between fill-ups, while factory top speed is listed at 90 km/h (56 mph).
