Engineered by Hartford for the scooter motorcycle segment, the 2016 Hartford Sniper 150 features a 149 cc (9.1 cu in) single cylinder, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 9 HP (6.6 kW) at 9,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a automatic gearbox and belt final drive. With a specific output of 60.4 HP per liter, the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.
On the scales, the Sniper 150 measures 110 kg (243 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.08 HP/kg (12.22 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 1,429 mm (56.3 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 5-liter (1.3 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 2.63 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 190 km (118 miles) between fill-ups.
