Engineered by Dinli for the atv motorcycle segment, the 2015 Dinli DL904 Lightning pairs a 448 cc (27.3 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 19.4 HP (14.2 kW) at 4,700 rpm while maximum torque reaches 33 Nm (24.3 lb-ft) at 3,400 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and belt final drive. With a specific output of 43.3 HP per liter and a 1,300 rpm working window between peak torque (3,400 rpm) and peak power (4,700 rpm), the engine character is prioritizing low-RPM tractability, mechanical longevity and relaxed throttle response over peak redline numbers.
On the scales, the DL904 Lightning measures 210 kg (463 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.09 HP/kg (10.82 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 1,268 mm (49.9 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 14-liter (3.7 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints, while factory top speed is listed at 105 km/h (65 mph).
