Ape 100 Type D

2015 Honda Ape 100 Type D Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Engineered by Honda for the allround motorcycle segment, the 2015 Honda Ape 100 Type D utilizes a 99 cc (6 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 6.8 HP (5 kW) at 8,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 7 Nm (5.2 lb-ft) at 6,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 68.7 HP per liter and a 1,500 rpm working window between peak torque (6,500 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 0.08 HP/kg (12.94 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.
