2017 Keeway Ajax 150 Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

At the heart of the 2017 Keeway Ajax 150 allround motorcycle, Keeway utilizes a 149.4 cc (9.1 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 11 HP (8 kW) at 8,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 10 Nm (7.4 lb-ft) at 5,700 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 73.6 HP per liter and a 2,800 rpm working window between peak torque (5,700 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 Ajax 150 measures 99 kg (218 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.11 HP/kg (9 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, combined with a 1,246 mm (49.1 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 16-liter (4.2 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints, while factory top speed is listed at 95 km/h (59 mph).
