Ape 50 Type D

2013 Honda Ape 50 Type D Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Engineered by Honda for the allround motorcycle segment, the 2013 Honda Ape 50 Type D relies on a 49 cc (3 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 3.6 HP (2.6 kW) at 8,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 3.6 Nm (2.7 lb-ft) at 6,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and chain final drive. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 42.0 x 35.6 mm (1.7 x 1.4 inches) with a 9.2:1 compression ratio.

On the scales, the Ape 50 Type D measures 82 kg (181 lbs) wet (curb). 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 1,185 mm (46.7 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 5.5-liter (1.5 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 1.49 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 369 km (229 miles) between fill-ups.
