Kawasaki Eliminator 500 vs KTM 250 EXC-F

The Kawasaki Eliminator 500 (2026) and the KTM 250 EXC-F (2025) are compared with the same Moto Kıyas physics model under identical conditions: flat dry asphalt, no wind, a 75 kg rider and no passenger. The Kawasaki Eliminator 500 is a cruiser with 451 cc, 44.8 hp and 176 kg; the KTM 250 EXC-F is a enduro bike with 250 cc, unlisted power and unlisted weight. Power-to-weight with the rider: 178.4 hp/ton versus no data.

In the simulation the Kawasaki Eliminator 500 covers 0-100 km/h (speedometer) in 4.66 s and the KTM 250 EXC-F in 7.92 s; the Kawasaki Eliminator 500 is quicker by 3.26 s. In the 100-0 km/h brake test, braking distance without the 0.3 s reaction time is 44.7 m for the Kawasaki Eliminator 500 (with ABS) and 51.5 m for the KTM 250 EXC-F (ABS unknown, class assumption: no ABS). The Kawasaki Eliminator 500 stops 6.8 m shorter. Calculated top speed: 163 km/h (manufacturer claim) versus 123 km/h (estimated from power and drag).

All values are an estimated simulation, not road-test measurements. Technical data comes from the sources listed below; the model uses model-specific parameters calibrated against published road tests for the Kawasaki Eliminator 500 and class-average calibration (no accepted model-specific road test) for the KTM 250 EXC-F. Missing manufacturer data (power, torque, weight) is estimated by class regression, not measured. Open the interactive app (currently in Turkish) to watch the run side by side and change the load.
