At the heart of the 2015 Ecosse Heretic naked motorcycle, Ecosse pairs a 1966 cc (120 cu in) liquid-cooled v2, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 133 HP (97.1 kW) while maximum torque reaches 185.8 Nm (137 lb-ft), transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 67.7 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 Heretic measures 221 kg (487 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.6 HP/kg (1.66 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 698 mm (27.5 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,537 mm (60.5 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 15.9-liter (4.2 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
