At the heart of the 2022 Kawasaki W175 allround motorcycle, Kawasaki pairs a 175 cc (10.7 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 13 HP (9.5 kW) at 7,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 13.2 Nm (9.7 lb-ft) at 6,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 74.3 HP per liter and a 1,500 rpm working window between peak torque (6,000 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.
