2013 Honda Ape 100 Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Positioned in Honda's allround motorcycle lineup, the 2013 Honda Ape 100 features a 99 cc (6 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke configuration. 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 measures 90 kg (198 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.07 HP/kg (14.52 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 supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
