At the heart of the 2023 Suzuki V-Strom 250SX super motard motorcycle, Suzuki pairs a 249 cc (15.2 cu in) oil & air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 25 HP (18.2 kW) at 8,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 23.4 Nm (17.3 lb-ft) at 6,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 100.4 HP per liter and a 1,500 rpm working window between peak torque (6,500 rpm) and peak power (8,000 rpm), 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 V-Strom 250SX measures 188 kg (414 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.13 HP/kg (7.52 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 835 mm (32.9 in) seat height — resulting in a taller command-style riding posture suited to medium-to-tall inseams, combined with a 1,440 mm (56.7 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 12-liter (3.2 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 2.66 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 451 km (280 miles) between fill-ups.
