Technical Overview
2013 Kymco MXU 500i LE Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown
At the heart of the 2013 Kymco MXU 500i LE atv motorcycle, Kymco pairs a 498.5 cc (30.4 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 47.6 HP (34.8 kW) at 6,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 40 Nm (29.5 lb-ft) at 5,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through belt final drive. With a specific output of 95.5 HP per liter and a 1,000 rpm working window between peak torque (5,500 rpm) and peak power (6,500 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 MXU 500i LE measures 305 kg (672 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.16 HP/kg (6.41 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 890 mm (35 in) seat height — reflecting a long-travel chassis stance that favors ground clearance and off-pavement control, combined with a 1,293 mm (50.9 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 17-liter (4.5 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
