Positioned in Suzuki's allround motorcycle lineup, the 2017 Suzuki TU250X relies on a 248 cc (15.1 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 24 HP (17.5 kW) at 8,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 96.8 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 TU250X measures 148 kg (326 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.16 HP/kg (6.17 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 770 mm (30.3 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,375 mm (54.1 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 12-liter (3.2 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints, while factory top speed is listed at 135 km/h (84 mph).
