Benelli
TRK 502
The Italian motorcycle
maker has unveiled the Benelli TRK 502 at the EICMA 2015. It is a true-blue
adventure tourer that will be positioned beneath the Benelli TNT 600GT.
The TRK 502 features
LED headlamps, a tall windscreen, a 20-litre fuel tank, a long travel inverted
telescopic fork, an adjustable monoshock and a pannier set under optional
accessories. The model is based on a steel trellis frame.
It is powered by a 500
cc inline twin-cylinder liquid-cooled engine that is capable of producing 48 PS
of maximum power and 45 Nm of peak torque. The motorcycle is just within the
permissible power output for A2 license holders in Europe. The motor is paired
to a six-speed gearbox.
The Benelli TRK 502
will compete with dual purpose motorcycles like the Honda CB500X. The model is
expected to be launched in India, considering DSK-Benelli has the facility to
assemble the motorcycles locally and that the segment for this kind of bikes is
vacant currently.
