Engineered by Voskhod for the classic motorcycle segment, the 1987 Voskhod M3 pairs a 175 cc (10.7 cu in) single cylinder, two-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 14 HP (10.2 kW) at 5,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 17 Nm (12.5 lb-ft) at 5,250 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 4-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 80 HP per liter and a 250 rpm working window between peak torque (5,250 rpm) and peak power (5,500 rpm), the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.
On the scales, the M3 measures 115 kg (254 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.12 HP/kg (8.21 kg per horsepower).
