2017 Honda Super Cub Pro 50 Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

At the heart of the 2017 Honda Super Cub Pro 50 scooter motorcycle, Honda pairs a 49 cc (3 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 5 HP (3.6 kW) at 7,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 3.8 Nm (2.8 lb-ft) at 5,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through belt final drive. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 37.8 x 44.0 mm (1.5 x 1.7 inches) with a 10.0:1 compression ratio.

On the scales, the Super Cub Pro 50 measures 95 kg (209 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.05 HP/kg (19 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 1,215 mm (47.8 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 4.3-liter (1.1 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 2.28 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 189 km (117 miles) between fill-ups.
