Built around Hartford's enduro - offroad motorcycle platform, the 2023 Hartford VR-223H Velo-Cross pairs a 223 cc (13.6 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. Internal engine geometry specifies a 9.3:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the VR-223H Velo-Cross measures 140 kg (309 lbs) dry. 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 1,375 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 2.42 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 496 km (308 miles) between fill-ups.
