At the heart of the 2024 Lifan KPX250 super motard motorcycle, Lifan relies on a 249 cc (15.2 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 20 HP (14.6 kW) at 7,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 20.5 Nm (15.1 lb-ft) at 5,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 80.3 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 KPX250 measures 151.1 kg (333 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.13 HP/kg (7.56 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 904 mm (35.6 in) seat height — reflecting a long-travel chassis stance that favors ground clearance and off-pavement control. The 11.36-liter (3 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 2.8 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 406 km (252 miles) between fill-ups, while factory top speed is listed at 121 km/h (75 mph).
