Engineered by Vertigo for the trial motorcycle segment, the 2022 Vertigo Nitro 300 features a 300 cc (18.3 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, two-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 31 HP (22.6 kW) at 9,200 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 103.3 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 Nitro 300 measures 68 kg (150 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.46 HP/kg (2.19 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 680 mm (26.8 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,310 mm (51.6 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 2.3-liter (0.6 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
