Positioned in Xmotos's enduro - offroad motorcycle lineup, the 2011 Xmotos XZ250R pairs a 243 cc (14.8 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 15.4 HP (11.3 kW) at 7,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 63.4 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 XZ250R measures 115 kg (254 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.13 HP/kg (7.47 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 1,440 mm (56.7 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 6.7-liter (1.8 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
