UNDER THE HOOD
The XL’s 963cc, liquid-cooled, fuel-injected, SOHC, four-stroke V-twin has been tuned for more bottom-end and mid-range torque. Maximum power is 77hp (53kW) at 7000rpm, and peak torque is 79Nm at 6500rpm from the ‘ride-by-wire’ engine.
At the wheel you have the choice of two drive modes, normal or work, along with the durable CVTech transmission with both high / low range and all important electronic hill descent control (engine braking) to master those steep descents.
