2017 Benelli TRK 502 and Leoncino (India)
DSK-Benelli will introduce the
Benelli TRK 502 and Benelli Leoncino in early 2017. Both bikes made their world debut at the EICMA 2015
in Milan.
The TRK 502 is a dual-sport bike powered by a 500 cc
inline twin-cylinder liquid-cooled engine paired with a six-speed gearbox. It
is capable of producing 48 PS of maximum power and 45 Nm of peak torque. The
feature list includes LED headlamps, tall windscreen, 20L 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.
Followed by the TRK 502 is the Benelli Leoncino,
Benelli’s take on the scrambler bodystyle. The Leoncino is powered by the same 500 cc inline twin-cylinder
liquid-cooled engine paired with a six-speed gearbox, which also produces 48 PS
of maximum power and 45 Nm of peak torque. The front suspension has USD forks
with 50 mm travel, while the rear gets a laterally mounted monoshock.
With the TRK 502 and Leoncino, Benellli’s portfolio
increases to eight products in India. Other bikes expected to launch in 2017
include the Benelli Trek 1130 Amazonas and Benelli Tornado 300R.
