Engineered by Gilera for the enduro - offroad motorcycle segment, the 2015 Gilera RCR 50 pairs a 49.9 cc (3 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, two-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 2.7 HP (2 kW) at 5,250 rpm while maximum torque reaches 3.6 Nm (2.7 lb-ft) at 5,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 39.9 x 40.0 mm (1.6 x 1.6 inches) with a 11.5:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the RCR 50 measures 97 kg (214 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 900 mm (35.4 in) seat height — reflecting a long-travel chassis stance that favors ground clearance and off-pavement control, combined with a 1,374 mm (54.1 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 7-liter (1.8 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
