Positioned in Shineray's sport motorcycle lineup, the 2012 Shineray XY-250 3 relies on a 250 cc (15.3 cu in) oil & air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 16.1 HP (11.7 kW) at 7,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 18 Nm (13.3 lb-ft) at 6,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 64.4 HP per liter and a 1,500 rpm working window between peak torque (6,000 rpm) and peak power (7,500 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 XY-250 3 measures 150 kg (331 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.11 HP/kg (9.32 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 1,440 mm (56.7 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 16-liter (4.2 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints, while factory top speed is listed at 110 km/h (68 mph).
