new TE 250 It is the all new
bike that Antoine Meo used to take
on the opposition in the hard-fought
World Championship series.
The TE 250 features class-leading
statistics: the engine weighs
only 22 Kg* and sets new standards
in its category. Technologically
advanced: Mikuni electronic fuel
injection, electric starter and bulk
reduced by 13%. The new single
cylinder shows its strength thanks
to its bore and stroke of 79 mm and
50.9 mm respectively.
The engine breathes through
4 titanium radial valves driven by
twin overhead combined chain/gear
drive cams. Transmission is taken
care of by a six-speed constant
mesh gearbox while lubrication
is looked after by a dry sump and
trochoidal pump system. But other
changes have also been made.
The frame and body panels have
been redesigned to cradle
the beating heart of this new creation.
The results are amazing.
The TE 250 sets new limits
for lightness and compactness
among the latest generation
250 four-strokes.
The Kayaba/Sachs combination lives
on in the 250 class: upside down 48
mm forks and monoshock fitted to
the asymmetric geometry, extruded
box section aluminium swing arm
offering progressive damping.
