2006 Yamaha DT 50 R Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown
At the heart of the 2006 Yamaha DT 50 R enduro - offroad motorcycle, Yamaha features a 50 cc (3.1 cu in) single cylinder, two-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 2.1 HP (1.6 kW) at 6,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 3.1 Nm (2.3 lb-ft) at 4,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 42 HP per liter and a 2,000 rpm working window between peak torque (4,000 rpm) and peak power (6,000 rpm), the engine character is prioritizing low-RPM tractability, mechanical longevity and relaxed throttle response over peak redline numbers.
