2010 Zest HT150-8 Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Positioned in Zest's allround motorcycle lineup, the 2010 Zest HT150-8 features a 149.6 cc (9.1 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 9.7 HP (7.1 kW) at 8,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 8.5 Nm (6.3 lb-ft) at 7,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through chain final drive. With a specific output of 64.8 HP per liter and a 1,000 rpm working window between peak torque (7,500 rpm) and peak power (8,500 rpm), the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.

Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 1,350 mm (53.1 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry.
