Technical Overview
2016 FB Mondial Hipster 250 Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown
Positioned in FB Mondial's classic motorcycle lineup, the 2016 FB Mondial Hipster 250 features a 249 cc (15.2 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 24.8 HP (18.1 kW) at 9,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 22 Nm (16.2 lb-ft) at 7,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 99.6 HP per liter and a 2,000 rpm working window between peak torque (7,000 rpm) and peak power (9,000 rpm), 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 Hipster 250 measures 130 kg (287 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.19 HP/kg (5.24 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 785 mm (30.9 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,370 mm (53.9 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.
