At the heart of the 2025 Hartford VR-220HX enduro - offroad motorcycle, Hartford features a 223 cc (13.6 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 19.2 HP (14 kW) at 7,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 10.9 Nm (8 lb-ft) at 6,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 86.1 HP per liter and a 1,500 rpm working window between peak torque (6,000 rpm) and peak power (7,500 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 VR-220HX measures 140 kg (309 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.14 HP/kg (7.29 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 860 mm (33.9 in) seat height — reflecting a long-travel chassis stance that favors ground clearance and off-pavement control, combined with a 1,370 mm (53.9 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 12-liter (3.2 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 3.27 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 367 km (228 miles) between fill-ups.
