The Benelli TRK 502
uses a steel trellis frame that adds lateral stiffness and should offer quick
directional change. The motorcycle features a semi-fairing with a tall
windscreen and split headlights with LED daytime running lights. The bike
features a 20 litres fuel tank and step-up seats.
While the Benelli
TRK 502X is a thoroughbred adventure tourer, the TRK 502 is a road-biased
tourer. The TRK 502X features 19-inch front and 17-inch rear wire-spoke wheels
with knobby 110/80-section front and 150/70-section rear Metzeler tyres. On the
other hand, the TRK 502 comes with 17-inch alloy wheels at both the ends that
come wrapped with 120/70 front and 160/60 rear tubeless Pirelli tyres.
Powering the
Benelli TRK 502 range is a 499.5cc, parallel-twin, DOHC, liquid-cooled, 8-valve
engine that churns out a healthy 47 bhp of maximum power at 8,500 rpm and 46 Nm
of peak torque that comes at 6,000 rpm. The motor is mated to a slick-shifting
six-speed gearbox.
Suspension duties
are performed by 50mm upside-down front forks, while the rear gets a
vertically-mounted mono-shock. Braking hardware includes twin 320 mm disc up
front and a single 260 mm rear disc brake, while switchable dual-channel ABS is
standard.
