Positioned in Scorpa's enduro - offroad motorcycle lineup, the 2020 Scorpa 280 T-Ride features a 272 cc (16.6 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, two-stroke configuration. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 76.0 x 60.0 mm (3.0 x 2.4 inches).
On the scales, the 280 T-Ride measures 92.8 kg (205 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 860 mm (33.9 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.
