In factory specification, peak output is rated at 15 HP (10.9 kW), transferring power to the rear wheel through chain final drive. With a specific output of 120 HP per liter, the engine character is reflecting a performance-oriented street tune that balances strong mid-range pull with an energetic top-end rush.

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.
