Technical Overview
2006 Yamaha DT 50 X Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown
Built around Yamaha's super motard motorcycle platform, the 2006 Yamaha DT 50 X relies on a 50 cc (3.1 cu in) single cylinder, two-stroke powerplant. 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 5-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.
On the scales, the DT 50 X measures 105 kg (231 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 870 mm (34.3 in) seat height — reflecting a long-travel chassis stance that favors ground clearance and off-pavement control, combined with a 1,350 mm (53.1 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 13.8-liter (3.6 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
