Engineered by Lifan for the allround motorcycle segment, the 2020 Lifan Glow 100 utilizes a 97 cc (5.9 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 6.7 HP (4.9 kW) at 7,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 6.5 Nm (4.8 lb-ft) at 5,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 4-speed gearbox. With a specific output of 69.1 HP per liter and a 2,500 rpm working window between peak torque (5,000 rpm) and peak power (7,500 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 Glow 100 measures 120 kg (265 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.06 HP/kg (17.91 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 730 mm (28.7 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,320 mm (52 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 15-liter (4 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 1.6 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 938 km (583 miles) between fill-ups, while factory top speed is listed at 80 km/h (50 mph).

Torque
Torque is useful for judging real-world pull, especially for touring, commuting and loaded riding.
Seat Height
Check the seat height against your inseam and riding posture before choosing a motorcycle.
Weight
Compare weight carefully because it affects low-speed handling, parking and confidence.
Fuel Capacity
Fuel capacity helps estimate touring range and how often you may need to stop.
Brakes
Brake setup is worth comparing if you ride in traffic, mountains or with a passenger.
Suspension
Suspension details can matter for comfort, road feel and long-distance riding.
Transmission
Transmission and final drive affect maintenance, smoothness and everyday usability.
