2007 Malaguti Phantom Max 250 Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Engineered by Malaguti for the scooter motorcycle segment, the 2007 Malaguti Phantom Max 250 features a 244.8 cc (14.9 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 22 HP (16.1 kW) at 8,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 20 Nm (14.8 lb-ft) at 6,750 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a automatic gearbox and belt final drive. With a specific output of 89.9 HP per liter and a 1,750 rpm working window between peak torque (6,750 rpm) and peak power (8,500 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 Phantom Max 250 measures 138 kg (304 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.16 HP/kg (6.27 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 790 mm (31.1 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,400 mm (55.1 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry.
