Built around Kayo's enduro - offroad motorcycle platform, the 2025 Kayo K5 features a 279.6 cc (17.1 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 25.5 HP (18.6 kW) at 8,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 23 Nm (17 lb-ft) at 7,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 91.2 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 K5 measures 119.1 kg (263 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.21 HP/kg (4.67 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 925 mm (36.4 in) seat height — reflecting a long-travel chassis stance that favors ground clearance and off-pavement control, combined with a 1,455 mm (57.3 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 7.5-liter (2 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
