Key specifications
Overview
Introducing the 2013 Kinroad XT50Q, a custom-cruiser that expertly blends charm with practicality, making it an appealing choice for novice riders and urban commuters alike. As a product of Kinroad, a well-known Chinese brand, the XT50Q stands out in the lightweight motorcycle segment, offering an accessible entry point for those looking to explore the world of two wheels. With its distinctive design and a focus on user-friendly performance, this motorcycle aims to cater to riders who value ease of handling without sacrificing style. At the heart of the XT50Q lies a 49.5 ccm single-cylinder, four-stroke engine that delivers a modest yet spirited power output of 2.7 horsepower at 7,500 RPM. With a torque rating of 2.8 Nm at 6,500 RPM, the engine provides adequate acceleration for city riding while reaching a top speed of 45.1 km/h (28.0 mph). The carbureted fuel system, paired with a 4-speed gearbox, allows for smooth and reliable shifts, making it easy to navigate through dense urban traffic. The air-cooled engine ensures that you can enjoy your rides without worrying about overheating, while the lightweight frame, weighing in at just 104.8 kg (231 lbs), provides excellent maneuverability, especially for beginners. The XT50Q is equipped with several features that enhance the riding experience. Its steel frame provides durability, while the hydraulic front suspension and rear springs offer a comfortable ride over various terrains. The combination of a single disc front brake and a drum brake at the rear ensures effective stopping power while instilling confidence in less experienced riders. The motorcycle also boasts both electric and kick-start options, allowing for convenience when you need it most. With a fuel capacity of 4.92 liters (1.30 gallons) and a ground clearance of 290 mm (11.4 inches), it’s well-suited for shorter trips around town, and its eye-catching yellow color adds a splash of personality to your daily commute. **
