Engineered by Suzuki for the atv motorcycle segment, the 2016 Suzuki QuadSport Z250 utilizes a 250 cc (15.3 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 33 HP (24.1 kW) at 4,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and shaft drive (cardan) final drive. With a specific output of 132 HP per liter, the engine character is reflecting a performance-oriented street tune that balances strong mid-range pull with an energetic top-end rush.
On the scales, the QuadSport Z250 measures 177 kg (390 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.19 HP/kg (5.36 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 810 mm (31.9 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,135 mm (44.7 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 9.7-liter (2.6 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
