Built around Peugeot's scooter motorcycle platform, the 2019 Peugeot Metropolis RX-R features a 399 cc (24.4 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 35.1 HP (25.6 kW) at 7,250 rpm while maximum torque reaches 38.1 Nm (28.1 lb-ft) at 5,750 rpm. With a specific output of 88 HP per liter and a 1,500 rpm working window between peak torque (5,750 rpm) and peak power (7,250 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 Metropolis RX-R measures 265 kg (584 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.13 HP/kg (7.55 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 780 mm (30.7 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,500 mm (59.1 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 13.5-liter (3.6 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 3.9 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 346 km (215 miles) between fill-ups, while factory top speed is listed at 135 km/h (84 mph).
