Positioned in Italika's sport motorcycle lineup, the 2021 Italika RT250 features a 250 cc (15.3 cu in) single cylinder, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 17.3 HP (12.6 kW) at 8,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 16.6 Nm (12.2 lb-ft) at 7,500 rpm. With a specific output of 69.2 HP per liter and a 1,000 rpm working window between peak torque (7,500 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 RT250 measures 128 kg (282 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.14 HP/kg (7.4 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 780 mm (30.7 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 122 km/h (76 mph).
