At the heart of the 2020 Lifan Lycan custom - cruiser motorcycle, Lifan utilizes a 249 cc (15.2 cu in) air-cooled twin, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 19 HP (13.9 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 and chain final drive. With a specific output of 76.3 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.
Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 701 mm (27.6 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops. The 14-liter (3.7 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 2.7 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 519 km (322 miles) between fill-ups, while factory top speed is listed at 129 km/h (80 mph).
