At the heart of the 1971 MV Agusta 250B sport motorcycle, MV Agusta utilizes a 247 cc (15.1 cu in) air-cooled twin, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 25.5 HP (18.6 kW) at 7,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through chain final drive. With a specific output of 103.2 HP per liter, the engine character is reflecting a performance-oriented street tune that balances strong mid-range pull with an energetic top-end rush.
