Built around Triton's atv motorcycle platform, the 2011 Triton Baja 300 utilizes a 280 cc (17.1 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 18.8 HP (13.7 kW), transferring power to the rear wheel through a automatic gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 67.1 HP per liter, the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.
On the scales, the Baja 300 measures 211 kg (465 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.09 HP/kg (11.22 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 870 mm (34.3 in) seat height — reflecting a long-travel chassis stance that favors ground clearance and off-pavement control. The 14.8-liter (3.9 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
