At the heart of the 2023 Mikilon Defender 250 enduro - offroad motorcycle, Mikilon features a 223 cc (13.6 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 12 HP (8.8 kW) at 7,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 17.5 Nm (12.9 lb-ft) at 5,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through chain final drive. With a specific output of 53.8 HP per liter and a 1,500 rpm working window between peak torque (5,500 rpm) and peak power (7,000 rpm), the engine character is prioritizing low-RPM tractability, mechanical longevity and relaxed throttle response over peak redline numbers.
On the scales, the Defender 250 measures 110 kg (243 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.11 HP/kg (9.17 kg per horsepower). 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.
