2012 Rhino FLM-005 Hunter Softail Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Engineered by Rhino for the custom - cruiser motorcycle segment, the 2012 Rhino FLM-005 Hunter Softail features a 250 cc (15.3 cu in) air-cooled v2, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 17 HP (12.4 kW) at 8,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 68 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 FLM-005 Hunter Softail measures 190.5 kg (420 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.09 HP/kg (11.21 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 660 mm (26 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,778 mm (70 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability.
