Description

Fin Komodo is an off-road vehicle for mountainous terrain and unpaved roads such as gravel, stones, or dirt. Fin Komodo is designed for easy maintenance. Fin Komodo is designed by ex-IPTN engineer, Ibnu Susilo, to be light-weight yet able to carry a heavy load.^{[citation needed]}

Before being launched, PT FKT made 4 prototypes. The first and second prototypes used an 180cc two-stroke engine and 3-speed transmission. The first prototype was designed with a single seat while the second prototype was designed with 2 chairs. Both of these prototypes had an oil capacity of 0.3 litres, fuel capacity of 15 litres of gasoline, used a seamless tubular frame and trunk, and generated torques of 1.19 kg / 3000 rpm (11.7 Nm / 3000 rpm).

The third and fourth prototypes used a 250 cc four-stroke engine with a torque of 17.6 Nm per 5500 rpm. The capacity of the fuel tank increased to 20 liters. The engine in the third prototype used an automatic transmission consisting of high speed, low speed, neutral, and reverse, while the fourth prototype uses an automatic CVT transmission (forward, neutral, and reverse).

The first and second generation has an empty weight of 250 kg. While the third and fourth generation has an empty weight of 320 kg. Frame used on gen. 4 vehicle is tubular frame.[1]

The fourth prototype went into production under the name Komodo KD 250 AT.
