At the heart of the 2020 Italika DT250Sport naked motorcycle, Italika pairs a 250 cc (15.3 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 18 HP (13.1 kW) at 8,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 16.6 Nm (12.2 lb-ft) at 6,500 rpm. With a specific output of 72 HP per liter and a 2,000 rpm working window between peak torque (6,500 rpm) and peak power (8,500 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 DT250Sport measures 124.5 kg (274 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.14 HP/kg (6.92 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 770 mm (30.3 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance. The 16-liter (4.2 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints, while factory top speed is listed at 120 km/h (75 mph).
