Technical Overview
2016 Veli VL300 GY-5 Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown
Engineered by Veli for the enduro - offroad motorcycle segment, the 2016 Veli VL300 GY-5 utilizes a 293 cc (17.9 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 32.2 HP (23.5 kW) at 8,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 28 Nm (20.7 lb-ft) at 7,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 109.9 HP per liter and a 1,000 rpm working window between peak torque (7,500 rpm) and peak power (8,500 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 VL300 GY-5 measures 118 kg (260 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.27 HP/kg (3.66 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 920 mm (36.2 in) seat height — reflecting a long-travel chassis stance that favors ground clearance and off-pavement control, combined with a 1,480 mm (58.3 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 8.5-liter (2.2 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
