Positioned in Lifan's trial motorcycle lineup, the 2020 Lifan KP250 features a 249 cc (15.2 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 19.4 HP (14.2 kW) at 9,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 22 Nm (16.2 lb-ft) at 7,000 rpm. With a specific output of 77.9 HP per liter and a 2,000 rpm working window between peak torque (7,000 rpm) and peak power (9,000 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 KP250 measures 154 kg (340 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.13 HP/kg (7.94 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 790 mm (31.1 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,405 mm (55.3 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry.
