Engineered by Hartford for the enduro - offroad motorcycle segment, the 2016 Hartford VR-150H features a 149 cc (9.1 cu in) single cylinder, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 18.1 HP (13.2 kW) at 8,300 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 121.5 HP per liter, the engine character is reflecting a performance-oriented street tune that balances strong mid-range pull with an energetic top-end rush.
On the scales, the VR-150H measures 123 kg (271 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.15 HP/kg (6.8 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 1,375 mm (54.1 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 12-liter (3.2 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 2.7 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 444 km (276 miles) between fill-ups.
