Engineered by Moto Morini for the super motard motorcycle segment, the 2023 Moto Morini X-Cape pairs a 649 cc (39.6 cu in) liquid-cooled twin, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 60.4 HP (44.1 kW) at 8,250 rpm while maximum torque reaches 56 Nm (41.3 lb-ft) at 7,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 93.1 HP per liter and a 1,250 rpm working window between peak torque (7,000 rpm) and peak power (8,250 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 X-Cape measures 213 kg (470 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.28 HP/kg (3.53 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 820 mm (32.3 in) seat height — resulting in a taller command-style riding posture suited to medium-to-tall inseams, combined with a 1,490 mm (58.7 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 18-liter (4.8 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints, while factory top speed is listed at 170 km/h (106 mph).
