2006 MBK X-Limit SM Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown
Engineered by MBK for the super motard motorcycle segment, the 2006 MBK X-Limit SM relies on a 50 cc (3.1 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, two-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 2.1 HP (1.6 kW) at 6,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 3.1 Nm (2.3 lb-ft) at 4,000 rpm. With a specific output of 42 HP per liter and a 2,000 rpm working window between peak torque (4,000 rpm) and peak power (6,000 rpm), the engine character is prioritizing low-RPM tractability, mechanical longevity and relaxed throttle response over peak redline numbers.
On the scales, the X-Limit SM measures 98 kg (216 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 870 mm (34.3 in) seat height — reflecting a long-travel chassis stance that favors ground clearance and off-pavement control, combined with a 1,350 mm (53.1 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 6.5-liter (1.7 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
