2009 Diamo Lightning 110 Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Built around Diamo's atv motorcycle platform, the 2009 Diamo Lightning 110 pairs a 107 cc (6.5 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 5.5 HP (4 kW) at 8,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 4-speed gearbox and shaft drive (cardan) final drive. With a specific output of 51.4 HP per liter, the engine character is prioritizing low-RPM tractability, mechanical longevity and relaxed throttle response over peak redline numbers.

On the scales, the Lightning 110 measures 117 kg (258 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.05 HP/kg (21.27 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 671 mm (26.4 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,041 mm (41 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 7.57-liter (2 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
