Built around Puma's cross - motocross motorcycle platform, the 2011 Puma Falcon 450 Cross features a 450 cc (27.5 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 44.3 HP (32.3 kW), transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 98.4 HP per liter, the engine character is reflecting a performance-oriented street tune that balances strong mid-range pull with an energetic top-end rush.
On the scales, the Falcon 450 Cross measures 118 kg (260 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.38 HP/kg (2.66 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 960 mm (37.8 in) seat height — reflecting a long-travel chassis stance that favors ground clearance and off-pavement control. The 8.5-liter (2.2 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints, while factory top speed is listed at 175 km/h (109 mph).
