Built around Diamo's custom - cruiser motorcycle platform, the 2008 Diamo Cruiser 250 utilizes a 248 cc (15.1 cu in) twin, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 16.3 HP (11.9 kW) at 8,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 65.7 HP per liter, the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.
On the scales, the Cruiser 250 measures 137 kg (302 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.12 HP/kg (8.4 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 673 mm (26.5 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,499 mm (59 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 7.57-liter (2 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 3.26 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 232 km (144 miles) between fill-ups.
