The BS6 Benelli TRK 502X is the latest addition to the Chinese-owned Italian company’s product lineup for the Indian market. The less polluting version of the adventure tourer has been launched at an attractive introductory price.
The BS6 Benelli TRK 502X is available in 3
colour options - Benelli Red, Pure White, and Metallic Dark Grey. The first two
paint schemes have been priced at INR 5,29,900* whereas the last one is a bit
more affordable at INR 5,19,900*. It is to be noted that these are the
introductory prices and Benelli is likely to increase them in the near future.
Bookings for the new adventure tourer are now open. Interested buyers can
reserve one by paying a token amount of INR 10,000 at any of the 41 authorised
Benelli dealerships located across the country.
Powering the new TRK 502X is the same
BS6-compliant engine which also comes with the motorcycle’s road-biased model,
the TRK 502, that was launched in India earlier this year. It’s a 500 cc
parallel-twin motor which pumps out 47.5 PS of max power at 8500 rpm and 46 Nm of
peak torque at 6000 rpm. It’s mated to a 6-speed gearbox.
The new Benelli TRK 502X runs on 19-in
front and 17-in rear spoke wheels. With 220mm of ground clearance, it should be
able to tackle most of the off-road conditions. The motorcycle also features
aluminium knuckle guards that provide good hand protection. The backlit
switchgear is a premium touch and the redesigned rearview mirrors are expected
to offer better visibility of what’s behind. The handlebar has been finished in
black and bears a Benelli logo and pitch level indicator for easy adjustments.
The BS6 Benelli TRK 502X will come with a
3-year/unlimited kms warranty as standard. The recently launched Honda CB500X,
Suzuki V-Strom 650 XT, Kawasaki Versys 650 and the likes are among its rivals.
