Engineered by Kymco for the atv motorcycle segment, the 2013 Kymco MXU 500i pairs a 499 cc (30.5 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 36 HP (26.3 kW) at 6,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through belt final drive. With a specific output of 72.1 HP per liter, the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.
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.
