Technical Overview
2016 Kymco Super 8 50R Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown
Engineered by Kymco for the scooter motorcycle segment, the 2016 Kymco Super 8 50R features a 49 cc (3 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, two-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 1.9 HP (1.4 kW) at 7,400 rpm while maximum torque reaches 4.1 Nm (3 lb-ft) at 7,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a automatic gearbox and belt final drive. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 39.0 x 41.4 mm (1.5 x 1.6 inches) with a 8.0:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the Super 8 50R measures 95.5 kg (211 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 780 mm (30.7 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,321 mm (52 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 5-liter (1.3 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 3.27 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 153 km (95 miles) between fill-ups.
