2017 Neander Kraftrad Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

At the heart of the 2017 Neander Kraftrad naked motorcycle, Neander utilizes a 1340 cc (81.8 cu in) oil & air-cooled diesel layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 112 HP (81.8 kW) at 4,200 rpm while maximum torque reaches 214 Nm (157.8 lb-ft) at 2,600 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and belt final drive. With a specific output of 83.6 HP per liter and a 1,600 rpm working window between peak torque (2,600 rpm) and peak power (4,200 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 Kraftrad measures 295 kg (650 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.38 HP/kg (2.63 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 650 mm (25.6 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,920 mm (75.6 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 14-liter (3.7 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 4.5 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 311 km (193 miles) between fill-ups, while factory top speed is listed at 220 km/h (137 mph).

Within MotoLibrary's Neander archive, this model family spans 3 indexed model years from 2015 to 2021, allowing buyers to track year-over-year changes in emissions tuning, weight and equipment.
