2013 Honda Ape 100 Type D Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown
Positioned in Honda's allround motorcycle lineup, the 2013 Honda Ape 100 Type D pairs a 99 cc (6 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 6.2 HP (4.5 kW) at 8,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 6.6 Nm (4.9 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 62.6 HP per liter and a 2,000 rpm working window between peak torque (6,000 rpm) and peak power (8,000 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 Ape 100 Type D measures 88 kg (194 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.07 HP/kg (14.19 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 715 mm (28.1 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,190 mm (46.9 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 5.5-liter (1.5 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 1.82 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 302 km (188 miles) between fill-ups.
