At the heart of the 2016 Orion RX 250 enduro - offroad motorcycle, Orion features a 250 cc (15.3 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 17.4 HP (12.7 kW) at 7,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 69.6 HP per liter, the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.
On the scales, the RX 250 measures 128 kg (282 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.14 HP/kg (7.36 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 930 mm (36.6 in) seat height — reflecting a long-travel chassis stance that favors ground clearance and off-pavement control, combined with a 1,420 mm (55.9 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 7-liter (1.8 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
