Positioned in Gilera's super motard motorcycle lineup, the 2007 Gilera SMT 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 12.1 HP (8.8 kW) at 6,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 9 Nm (6.6 lb-ft), 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 13.0:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the SMT 50 measures 96 kg (212 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.13 HP/kg (7.93 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 815 mm (32.1 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance. The 5.7-liter (1.5 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
