Built around Hartford's enduro - offroad motorcycle platform, the 2016 Hartford VR-220H pairs a 223 cc (13.6 cu in) single cylinder, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 17.4 HP (12.7 kW) at 9,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 78 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 VR-220H measures 140 kg (309 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.12 HP/kg (8.05 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 3.3 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 364 km (226 miles) between fill-ups.
