At the heart of the 2013 NCR 848 sport motorcycle, NCR pairs a 848 cc (51.7 cu in) oil & air-cooled v2, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 145 HP (105.8 kW) at 12,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 120 Nm (88.5 lb-ft) at 10,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through chain final drive. With a specific output of 171 HP per liter and a 2,500 rpm working window between peak torque (10,000 rpm) and peak power (12,500 rpm), the engine character is placing it firmly in high-revving supersport territory where top-end breathing dominates.
On the scales, the 848 measures 155 kg (342 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.94 HP/kg (1.07 kg per horsepower).
