Moto Morini X-Cape specifications and features
Every figure from the manufacturer's sheet, plus what each feature actually does for you.
The numbers in context
Each figure read against the 33 adventure bikes we have reviewed.
A spec sheet on its own says little. Here every X-Cape figure is set against the average for the 33 adventure bikes on this site, so you can see which numbers are ordinary for the class and which ones set it apart.
The 649 cc engine is 25 cc below the class average of 674 cc, 17th of 33. Peak power of 59.2 bhp is 18.3 bhp below the class average of 77.4 bhp, 17th of 33. It will feel unhurried next to the class average; the mileage figure is usually the payback. Torque of 54 Nm is 14.7 Nm below the class average of 68.7 Nm, 17th of 33.
Kerb weight is 215 kg, right on the class average of 210 kg. Seat height is 810 mm, 29 mm below the class average of 839 mm, 31st of 33. Ground clearance is 175 mm, 37 mm below the class average of 212 mm, 21st of 23.

Dimensions in practice
The X-Cape weighs 215 kg with fluids, has an 810 mm seat, 175 mm of ground clearance, and rides on a 1480 mm wheelbase. That clearance is generous: speed breakers and broken roads will not trouble the underbody.
The fuel tank holds 18 litres.
Tyres are 110/80-19 front and 150/70-17 rear, tubeless.
Features, and why each matters
Grouped by what they do for you. Underlined items link to a plain-English explainer.
Safety and braking
Stops both wheels from locking under panic braking. The single biggest safety upgrade on a two-wheeler.
Front disc brake
Sheds heat and works when wet. Worth the small premium over a drum on any commuter.
Rear disc brake
Adds feel and fade resistance at the back; matters more on heavier or faster bikes.
Tubeless tyres
A puncture deflates slowly instead of instantly, and roadside repair takes ten minutes.
Side-stand engine cut-off
Engine will not run with the stand down, which prevents a common low-speed crash.
Hazard lamps
All four indicators flash; useful in fog and when stopped on a highway shoulder.
Chassis
Alloy wheels
Lighter than spoked wheels and they allow tubeless tyres.
USD front forks
Stiffer than conventional forks, so the front feels planted under hard braking.
Convenience
USB charging port
Charges the phone on a long commute. Check whether it is Type-A or Type-C.
Engine kill switch
Switch the engine off from the right bar without reaching for the key.
Lighting
LED headlamp
Brighter, whiter and lasts the life of the bike. Halogens on rivals look yellow by comparison.
Projector headlamp
Sharper cut-off and a longer throw than a reflector unit.
LED daytime running lamp
Makes you visible to cars in daylight, when most two-wheeler collisions happen.
LED tail lamp
Lights up instantly, which gives the vehicle behind a fraction more warning.
Console and connectivity
Colour TFT console
Readable in direct sun and can show turn-by-turn navigation.
Digital console
Trip meters, real-time mileage and a gear indicator. The analogue dial is disappearing.
Bluetooth connectivity
Call and message alerts on the console so the phone stays in your pocket.
Turn-by-turn navigation
Directions on the console via the phone app. Saves mounting a phone on the bars.
Ride modes
An Eco map for mileage and a Power map for overtakes, switched from the bars.
