Built around Lifan's custom - cruiser motorcycle platform, the 2020 Lifan Custom V250 utilizes a 248.9 cc (15.2 cu in) air-cooled twin, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 18.1 HP (13.2 kW) at 8,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 19 Nm (14 lb-ft) at 6,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox. With a specific output of 72.7 HP per liter and a 2,000 rpm working window between peak torque (6,000 rpm) and peak power (8,000 rpm), the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.
On the scales, the Custom V250 measures 152 kg (335 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.12 HP/kg (8.4 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 670 mm (26.4 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,495 mm (58.9 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 12.8-liter (3.4 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints, while factory top speed is listed at 115 km/h (71 mph).
