2010 Garelli Tiesse 50 R Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Built around Garelli's scooter motorcycle platform, the 2010 Garelli Tiesse 50 R pairs a 49 cc (3 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, two-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 3.5 HP (2.5 kW) at 6,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 3.9 Nm (2.9 lb-ft) at 6,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through belt final drive. Internal engine geometry specifies a 8.0:1 compression ratio.

On the scales, the Tiesse 50 R measures 89 kg (196 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 780 mm (30.7 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,285 mm (50.6 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 5-liter (1.3 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
