What is PS (Pferdestärke)?
PS, short for Pferdestärke, is a metric unit of power that originated in Germany. It is frequently used in automotive and motorcycle specifications across Europe and Asia. While both "PS" and "hp" (mechanical horsepower) are units of power, they have a slight difference in magnitude:
- 1 PS is approximately equal to 0.9863 hp.
- Conversely, 1 hp is approximately equal to 1.0139 PS.
Understanding this distinction helps in interpreting specifications from various regions. The specified power delivery at 7500 rpm indicates the point where the engine achieves its maximum horsepower, providing riders with a clear understanding of its performance characteristics.
