At the heart of the 2023 Macbor Montana XR5 500 super motard motorcycle, Macbor utilizes a 471 cc (28.7 cu in) air-cooled twin, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 46.9 HP (34.3 kW) at 8,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 43 Nm (31.7 lb-ft) at 7,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 99.6 HP per liter and a 1,500 rpm working window between peak torque (7,000 rpm) and peak power (8,500 rpm), the engine character is reflecting a performance-oriented street tune that balances strong mid-range pull with an energetic top-end rush.
On the scales, the Montana XR5 500 measures 178 kg (392 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.26 HP/kg (3.8 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 840 mm (33.1 in) seat height — resulting in a taller command-style riding posture suited to medium-to-tall inseams, combined with a 1,460 mm (57.5 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 20-liter (5.3 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
