Technical Overview
2018 Kawasaki D-Tracker X Final Edition Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown
Positioned in Kawasaki's super motard motorcycle lineup, the 2018 Kawasaki D-Tracker X Final Edition pairs a 249 cc (15.2 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 24.1 HP (17.6 kW) at 9,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 21 Nm (15.5 lb-ft) at 7,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 96.8 HP per liter and a 2,000 rpm working window between peak torque (7,000 rpm) and peak power (9,000 rpm), the engine character is reflecting a performance-oriented street tune that balances strong mid-range pull with an energetic top-end rush.
On the scales, the D-Tracker X Final Edition measures 138 kg (304 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.17 HP/kg (5.73 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 860 mm (33.9 in) seat height — reflecting a long-travel chassis stance that favors ground clearance and off-pavement control, combined with a 1,420 mm (55.9 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 7.7-liter (2 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
