Technical Overview
2016 Honda Super Cub Concept Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown
At the heart of the 2016 Honda Super Cub Concept prototype - concept model motorcycle, Honda utilizes a 109 cc (6.7 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 8 HP (5.8 kW) at 7,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 8.5 Nm (6.3 lb-ft) at 5,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 4-speed gearbox and belt final drive. With a specific output of 73.4 HP per liter and a 2,000 rpm working window between peak torque (5,500 rpm) and peak power (7,500 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 Super Cub Concept measures 98 kg (216 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.08 HP/kg (12.25 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 735 mm (28.9 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,210 mm (47.6 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 4.3-liter (1.1 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 1.57 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 274 km (170 miles) between fill-ups.
