Built around Shineray's allround motorcycle platform, the 2008 Shineray XY250-5 pairs a 232.6 cc (14.2 cu in) single cylinder, two-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 18 HP (13.1 kW) at 7,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through chain final drive. With a specific output of 77.4 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 XY250-5 measures 138 kg (304 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.13 HP/kg (7.67 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 1,330 mm (52.4 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry.
