Engineered by Gibbs for the atv motorcycle segment, the 2016 Gibbs Quadski features a 1300 cc (79.3 cu in) liquid-cooled in-line four, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 140 HP (102.2 kW) while maximum torque reaches 118 Nm (87 lb-ft). With a specific output of 107.7 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.
