At the heart of the 2019 Hanway Champion 300 custom - cruiser motorcycle, Hanway utilizes a 279.6 cc (17.1 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 24.8 HP (18.1 kW) at 8,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 23 Nm (17 lb-ft) at 7,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 88.7 HP per liter and a 1,500 rpm working window between peak torque (7,000 rpm) and peak power (8,500 rpm), the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.
On the scales, the Champion 300 measures 142 kg (313 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.17 HP/kg (5.73 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 640 mm (25.2 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,470 mm (57.9 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 14-liter (3.7 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
