Launched two years ago in 2018, the Benelli 752S naked sports is now in Malaysia, and priced at RM 37,888, excluding road tax, insurance and registration. Looking something of a cross between a Ducati Monster and a Yamaha MT-09, the 752S is targeted to the everyday rider.
Power comes from a 750 cc, eight-valve,
liquid-cooled parallel-twin, producing 76 hp at 8,500 rpm and 67 Nm of torque
at 6,500 rpm. The Euro 4 compliant engine gets power to the ground via a
six-speed gearbox and chain final drive.
Braking is done with twin Brembo callipers
clamping 320 mm diameter semi-floating discs while the rear wheel is stopped
with a single 260 mm disc and two-channel ABS is standard equipment. Suspension
uses 50 mm diameter Marzocchi upside-down adjustable forks in front and mono
shock at the back, adjustable for preload.
LED lighting is used throughout on the
752S and inside the cockpit a TFT-LCD instrument panel displays all the
necessary information. No sign of traction control or ride modes but at this
price point, concessions have to be made to pricing and market position. Fuel
for the 752S is carried in a 14.5-litre tank and seat height is set at 810 mm.
Weight for the 752S is claimed to 226 kg and there are three colour options –
Red, Black and Green with immediate availability at all authorised Benelli
Malaysia dealers.
