Technical Overview
2012 Veli VL150-26 Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown
Engineered by Veli for the naked motorcycle segment, the 2012 Veli VL150-26 utilizes a 162 cc (9.9 cu in) single cylinder, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 15.4 HP (11.3 kW) while maximum torque reaches 15 Nm (11.1 lb-ft), transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 95.1 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 VL150-26 measures 120 kg (265 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.13 HP/kg (7.79 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 830 mm (32.7 in) seat height — resulting in a taller command-style riding posture suited to medium-to-tall inseams, combined with a 1,350 mm (53.1 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 15-liter (4 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 2.5 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 600 km (373 miles) between fill-ups, while factory top speed is listed at 120 km/h (75 mph).
