At the heart of the 2009 Dinli DL 904 Lightning atv motorcycle, Dinli features a 448 cc (27.3 cu in) single cylinder, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 45.1 HP (32.9 kW) while maximum torque reaches 41.2 Nm (30.4 lb-ft), transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and belt final drive. With a specific output of 100.7 HP per liter, the engine character is reflecting a performance-oriented street tune that balances strong mid-range pull with an energetic top-end rush.
On the scales, the DL 904 Lightning measures 210 kg (463 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.21 HP/kg (4.66 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 820 mm (32.3 in) seat height — resulting in a taller command-style riding posture suited to medium-to-tall inseams. The 12.8-liter (3.4 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
