2019 Kymco Super 8 50X Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown
Positioned in Kymco's scooter motorcycle lineup, the 2019 Kymco Super 8 50X 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 3.1 Nm (2.3 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).
On the scales, the Super 8 50X 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 4.92-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 150 km (93 miles) between fill-ups.
