2008 Macbor XC 512 Racing Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown
Built around Macbor's minibike, cross motorcycle platform, the 2008 Macbor XC 512 Racing relies on a 50 cc (3.1 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, two-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 9 HP (6.6 kW), transferring power to the rear wheel through a automatic gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 180 HP per liter, the engine character is placing it firmly in high-revving supersport territory where top-end breathing dominates.
Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 740 mm (29.1 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,035 mm (40.7 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 3.25-liter (0.9 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
