2016 DF Motor DF250RTS Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Built around DF Motor's sport motorcycle platform, the 2016 DF Motor DF250RTS features a 229.2 cc (14 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 16.1 HP (11.7 kW) at 7,000 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 70.2 HP per liter and a 1,500 rpm working window between peak torque (5,500 rpm) and peak power (7,000 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 DF250RTS measures 165 kg (364 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.1 HP/kg (10.25 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 1,320 mm (52 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 17-liter (4.5 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 4.2 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 405 km (252 miles) between fill-ups, while factory top speed is listed at 95 km/h (59 mph).
