V-Raptor

2016 Skyteam V-Raptor Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Built around Skyteam's minibike, sport motorcycle platform, the 2016 Skyteam V-Raptor pairs a 124 cc (7.6 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 10.1 HP (7.3 kW) at 8,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 8.5 Nm (6.3 lb-ft) at 7,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 81.5 HP per liter and a 1,000 rpm working window between peak torque (7,500 rpm) and peak power (8,500 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 V-Raptor measures 123 kg (271 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.08 HP/kg (12.18 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 1,374 mm (54.1 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 10-liter (2.6 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
