2017 Lifan X-Pect Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Positioned in Lifan's enduro - offroad motorcycle lineup, the 2017 Lifan X-Pect features a 196.9 cc (12 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 14 HP (10.2 kW) at 8,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 13.8 Nm (10.2 lb-ft) at 6,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 71.1 HP per liter and a 1,500 rpm working window between peak torque (6,500 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 X-Pect measures 129.7 kg (286 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.11 HP/kg (9.26 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 831 mm (32.7 in) seat height — resulting in a taller command-style riding posture suited to medium-to-tall inseams, combined with a 1,346 mm (53 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 9.84-liter (2.6 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 2.31 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 426 km (265 miles) between fill-ups, while factory top speed is listed at 101 km/h (63 mph).
