Engineered by Nipponia for the sport motorcycle segment, the 2009 Nipponia AX 100S relies on a 100 cc (6.1 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 8.3 HP (6.1 kW) at 7,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 8.3 Nm (6.1 lb-ft) at 6,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 4-speed gearbox and belt final drive. With a specific output of 83 HP per liter and a 500 rpm working window between peak torque (6,500 rpm) and peak power (7,000 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 AX 100S measures 85 kg (187 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.1 HP/kg (10.24 kg per horsepower). The 12-liter (3.2 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 2.1 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 571 km (355 miles) between fill-ups, while factory top speed is listed at 85 km/h (53 mph).
Within MotoLibrary's Nipponia archive, this model family spans 2 indexed model years from 2009 to 2010, allowing buyers to track year-over-year changes in emissions tuning, weight and equipment.

Use this page to compare this motorcycle by its real specifications, not only by model name. Focus on the details that affect fit, comfort, handling, range and ownership.
Power
Compare engine output with similar motorcycles if acceleration, highway use or two-up riding matters.
Torque
Torque is useful for judging real-world pull, especially for touring, commuting and loaded riding.
Weight
Compare weight carefully because it affects low-speed handling, parking and confidence.
Fuel Capacity
Fuel capacity helps estimate touring range and how often you may need to stop.
Brakes
Brake setup is worth comparing if you ride in traffic, mountains or with a passenger.
Transmission
Transmission and final drive affect maintenance, smoothness and everyday usability.
