Engineered by Gilera for the enduro - offroad motorcycle segment, the 2020 Gilera RCR features a 49.3 cc (3 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, two-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 4.5 HP (3.3 kW) at 7,250 rpm while maximum torque reaches 4.7 Nm (3.5 lb-ft) at 6,000 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 measures 99 kg (218 lbs) wet (curb). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 880 mm (34.6 in) seat height — reflecting a long-travel chassis stance that favors ground clearance and off-pavement control, combined with a 1,365 mm (53.7 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 7-liter (1.8 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 2.96 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 236 km (147 miles) between fill-ups.
Within MotoLibrary's Gilera archive, this model family spans 2 indexed model years from 2006 to 2020, allowing buyers to track year-over-year changes in emissions tuning, weight and equipment.
