Built around Skyteam's enduro - offroad motorcycle platform, the 2008 Skyteam ST250 pairs a 223 cc (13.6 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 14.8 HP (10.8 kW) at 7,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 16.5 Nm (12.2 lb-ft) at 5,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 66.4 HP per liter and a 2,000 rpm working window between peak torque (5,500 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 ST250 measures 123 kg (271 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.12 HP/kg (8.31 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 910 mm (35.8 in) seat height — reflecting a long-travel chassis stance that favors ground clearance and off-pavement control, combined with a 1,065 mm (41.9 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 7-liter (1.8 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
